Research notes

26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "203 Battalion" → Lenz Military Base (SAWGP Regiment, no Unit); Regiment "South African Army" → Lenz Military Base (SAWGP Regiment).
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 12 Sep 2026: 94839677 L/Cpl M Kamteni, Lentz Military Base, shot dead in Soweto by persons unknown, age 24. Unit filled Lentz (3726). Stored FirstName Gabriel / Initials M left. CONFLICT flagged, not changed: Graham age 24 vs stored Age 22. Not on Bushwar same-day post.
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".
