Son of Warrant Officer Joubert, of Pretoria.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("85 Combat Flying School") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 17 Sep 2026: "68473875 Private Gerhard Joubert from the Army Service Corps took his own life when he deliberately jumped out of a third-floor window of a building in Pretoria. He was 18." CONFLICT flagged, not changed: this record's Unit is "85 Combat Flying School", an Air Force unit, against Graham's Army Service Corps. Service number, date and age agree.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Air Force" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Army". Across the roll 787 records carried such a contradiction; judged against Corps and Regiment -- independent of both columns -- the evidence backed Branch 744 times and Unit2 not once. Branch is therefore kept and the contradicting word removed. Nothing is guessed: this man's branch of service is already recorded, and his sub-unit, if any, is simply not known.
