Research notes

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 21 Jul 2024: 81137879BG Rifleman George Immelman, Army Battle School, accidentally killed when he was crushed between a loader and a tipper during construction work, age 22. Graham rank Rifleman; ROH Private — not overwritten. Unit already Army Battle School; ROH already had Postmasburg loader/tipper. | Also Last Post 21 Jul 2026: 81137879BG Rifleman George Immelman, Army Battle School, crushed between a loader and a tipper during construction, age 22. Graham rank Rifleman; ROH Private already noted on 21 Jul 2024.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Training Corps" (a branch, not a specific regiment) moved to Corps, per John's decision on the broader Regiment/Corps field-swap review.
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".
