Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 15 Sep 2026: 67316257BT Rifleman Cornelius Gregorius Labuschagne, 4 SAI, died in the Klerksdorp Provincial Hospital from broncho pneumonia and eventual suffocation, aggravated as a result of inhaling tear gas during a field exercise carried out at the Unit on 12 Sep 1969, age 18. DateDeath CORRECTED 1969-09-12 -> 1969-09-15 and Age 17 -> 18: the stored date was the date of the field exercise/tear-gas exposure, not the date of death in hospital three days later, per Graham's more specific account. CauseDeath enriched with the tear-gas detail.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: dates of death differ -- 3 day(s) apart: Mike 1969-09-12 this record 1969-09-15. A gap of a few days commonly separates wounding from death, or a burial date from a death date. Flagged, not changed.
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 17 against this record's 18 (a difference of one year, so most likely a birthday-not-yet-reached transcription difference rather than a real disagreement). This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
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".
