DateDeath was 1900/1901-01-01 SAWGP unknown-date placeholder; set to Unknown. EstBirthYear derived from that date cleared. | Cleared stolen ServiceNo 80594104CK (belongs to Ludick W.H. PN 31427, Army Catering Corps / WP Command Workshop, 1982-09-26).
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("William Henry") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 31427 ("Ludick, William Henry", initials W H) -- this record's own stored initials (C) don't match "William Henry" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 31427 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed, AddInfo (also an exact copy from the same neighbour) cleared likewise.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("Western Province Command Workshop") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
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".
