Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 18 Sep 2025: 72548431N Rifleman Terence Arthur Langley, 3 SAI, died from a gunshot wound accidentally self-inflicted while stationed at Rundu, age 18.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 18 Sep 2026: 72548431N Rifleman Terence Arthur Langley, 3 SAI, accidentally self-inflicted gunshot wound at Rundu, age 18. Exact match.
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".
