Research notes
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 24 Aug 2026: While standing Guard Duty at the Springs Gate, he was accidentally shot by another member while walking toward the ablution block.
4 Sep 2026: Unit leftover "1 Construction Regiment" (a named regiment, not a sub-unit) moved to Regiment. Corps unchanged.
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".
