Research notes
Cleared stolen ServiceNo 76928167SP (belongs to Henrique S. PN 30693, 32 Bn, 1977-04-06). | Unit was incorrectly set to "32 (Buffalo) Battalion" (a SADF unit not formed until 1975) — impossible for this pre-1975 death. Found and cleared 27 Aug 2026 while investigating a family correction email about PersonNumber 31346 (Lipschild), which had the same wrong Unit; a further check found 22 other pre-1975 records sharing it. Root cause not identified (no source in this record names a unit at all beyond the generic Unit2 arm-of-service tag, or the Regiment already on file) — Unit left blank rather than guessed.
