SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 84276195BG cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "JAGGA, " (L CPL, Sterf 19 08 88), matching PersonNumber 30813 (Jagga, DateDeath 1988-08-19) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "84276195BG". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Raymond Victor") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 30813 ("Jagga, Raymond Victor", initials R V) -- this record's own stored initials (S) don't match "Raymond Victor" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 30813 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed, AddInfo (also an exact copy from the same neighbour) cleared likewise.
7 Sep 2026: CauseDeath was a forward-fill copy from PN 30813 (Jagga, Raymond Victor (R V)), an unrelated record -- cleared as contamination (CauseDeath-contamination scan, data/causedeath-contamination-scan-2026-09-07.md, batch 2), not a real cause.
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 32 against this record's 19. 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".
