Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 89705073PP cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "JOSEPH, ANTHONY FRANK" (SGT, Sterf 26 03 98), matching PersonNumber 30924 (Joseph, DateDeath 1998-03-26) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "89705073PP". 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.
