Louw DFC , Johann (J)

First record of a sequential SAWGP citation smear; following PersonNumbers cleared. Award not independently name-matched.
5 Sep 2026: Unit "17 Squadron" (a squadron, SAAF's regiment-equivalent) promoted to Regiment, per John's decision. Corps (South African Air Force) unchanged.
8 Sep 2026: Graham du Toit's Last Post gives Rank "Captain" and FirstName "Johannes"; this record's own stored Rank is "Major" and FirstName "Johann". Flagged, not changed -- DFC postnominal added separately (well-evidenced, not in conflict).
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Air Force". 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.
