Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 6 Sep 2026: confirmed; ServiceNo suffix PE added (was 81005514). NOT resolved: post gives unit as "Air Force Base Swartkop", this record has the vaguer "HQ, Pretoria" -- not necessarily contradictory (Swartkop is in the Pretoria area), left as is rather than guessing they are the same posting.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Air Force". 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.
