Research notes


4 Sep 2026: Unit leftover "1 Engineer Regiment" (a named regiment, not a sub-unit) moved to Regiment. Corps unchanged.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 9 Sep 2026: 92660992PV Sapper Victor Ntoboza Gumbi, 1 Engineer Regiment, same Samil 20 front-tyre rollover at Mkuze as Tembe PN 33229, age 25. CauseDeath enriched with Samil 20 / front tyre. Age 25 matches. Not carried on Bushwar Books same-day post.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
