Research notes

SADF Wall of Remembrance (Voortrekker Monument): named on photograph "1977 SAA (Kruger–Maquinda, Walker–Wilters) to 1978 SAA (Amorim–Cassamano, Hunter–Mandunga)". 1977 Army. Left column. 2nd name from the top (Langenhoven G.F.M.).
Col (rt) Graham du Toit, Last Post, 31 Aug 2026: one member from 4 SAI killed and one critically injured (died of injuries 2 Sep 1977) when their Bedford truck overturned at Alldays en route to Greefswald. Rfn G.F.M. Langenhoven, age 18. Matches ROH record. Same incident as Henn, M.C. (PersonNumber 30688).
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".
