Research notes
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 29 Jan 2026: 92679893PY Rifleman Lesibana Johan Lebelo, Northern Transvaal Command, shot dead by persons unknown while standing guard duty at Swartkoppark, age 31. Same incident as Nemarivhoni. ROH unit is 2 Squadron; regiment is Norther (not overwritten).
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".
