Lamb (G)

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 73436537BA cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "LAIDLAW, KEVIN EDWARD" (PTE, Sterf 04 11 75), matching PersonNumber 31219 (Laidlaw, DateDeath 1975-11-04) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "73436537BA". 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.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 27 Aug 2026 / Bushwar Books Lest We Forget 27 August (https://www.warbooks.co.za/posts/lest-we-forget-27-august/ shot by fellow soldier in argument at Lohatla; 1 SAI attached to 61 Mech. CONFLICT: Graham FirstName Graeme age 19; Bushwar FirstName Gary age 19; ROH FirstName Bruce age 18 (Initials G). Name and age not overwritten. Unit repointed to 1 SAI with attachment to 61 Mech.
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 19 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".
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Bruce' and Age 18 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 31220 down a contiguous run of 2 records -- this record's own LastName ('Lamb'), Initials ('G'), ServiceNo ('') and DateDeath ('1988-08-27') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
