6 Sep 2026: ServiceNo 78912581SP cleared -- a 25 Aug 2026 SN-correction pass had assigned this disputed number here (shared with 30791 Isaac) via a year-prefix birth-year heuristic, reasoning it fit this record's implied birth year better. Today's Graham Last Post gives Rank Rifleman, Initial D, DateDeath 1987-09-06, Regiment 32 Battalion, and a Buffalo Base cause of death for this ServiceNo -- matching PersonNumber 30791 Isaac exactly on every field, and matching none of this record's own (Initial P, DateDeath 1985-02-05, Regiment 101 Battalion). Direct multi-field evidence outweighs the earlier estimate; the number belongs to Isaac, not this record. Cleared rather than guessed at a replacement.
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 24 against this record's 22. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
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".
