Isaac (D)

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 78912581SP cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '78' implies registration circa 1978 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1962. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1965, a mismatch; PersonNumber 30792 (Ismael, implied birth circa 1963) fits instead. Original value: "78912581SP".
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 6 Sep 2026: gives only "D Isaac" -- confirms the existing FirstName "Craig Murray" cannot be right (doesn't match stored Initial "D"; it was copied from the immediately preceding record, 30790 Irvine, whose own Initials "C M" genuinely match "Craig Murray"). Cleared rather than guessed, same pattern as the 32-record contamination batch fixed earlier today. ServiceNo 78912581SP restored -- a 25 Aug 2026 SN-correction pass had cleared this exact number from this record, reasoning via a year-prefix birth-year heuristic that it fit Ismael (30792) better. That reasoning is superseded here: today's post matches this record on every other field (Rank Rifleman, Initial D, exact DateDeath 1987-09-06, Regiment 32 Battalion, cause of death) while matching none of Ismael's (Initial P, DateDeath 1985-02-05, Regiment 101 Battalion) -- direct multi-field evidence outweighs the earlier birth-year estimate. Cleared from Ismael's record instead (see 30792). CauseDeath enriched with location "at Buffalo Base" (no conflict). NOT resolved: post gives age 38, this record has always shown 22 -- too large a gap to be a typo, flagged not overwritten.
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".
