Research notes

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 16 Apr 2026: 01139013E Major Jan Wilhelm Arnhem Loubser, 1 Maintenance Unit, killed in a train accident at Kimberley, age 42. ROH first name was Wihelm — corrected to Wilhelm.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Air Force" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Army". Across the roll 787 records carried such a contradiction; judged against Corps and Regiment -- independent of both columns -- the evidence backed Branch 744 times and Unit2 not once. Branch is therefore kept and the contradicting word removed. Nothing is guessed: this man's branch of service is already recorded, and his sub-unit, if any, is simply not known.
