Research notes
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 11 Oct 2024: 79474862BG Private Werner Eugene Kriel, SAMS attached to No.1 Military Hospital, killed in a military vehicle accident at Potgietersrus, age 20. ROH unit was 2 Signals Regiment (regiment 1 Military Town Management).
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".
