Research notes

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 79485231SC cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "KUHNE, JORG HUBERT" (CPL, Sterf 23 04 85), matching PersonNumber 31193 (Kuhne, DateDeath 1985-04-23) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "79485231SC". 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.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 25 against this record's 37. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
