Research notes

Cleared stolen ServiceNo 94096724 (1994-era number; belongs to Hendile PN 30682, 1998-08-05).
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 36 against this record's 22. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
13 Oct 2026: Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 13 Oct 2026, gives the fuller account: killed in action during a contact with SWAPO/PLAN insurgents in Northern Owamboland. Rank, date and cause already matched.
13 Oct 2026: AGE CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: stored Age 22; Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 13 Oct 2026, instead gives 36. No contamination signature found in the surrounding Henderson/Hendile/Hendricks block (30678-30688, all distinct ages). Flagged for review. Rank, date and cause already matched.
