Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 25 Feb 2026: 76926542SP Sergeant Mario Izumbu, 32 Battalion, killed in a private motor vehicle accident, age 34. ROH first name is Nicolaas Christiaan (initials M); age is 21 (not overwritten).
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 34 against this record's 21. 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".
