Research notes

DateDeath was 1900/1901-01-01 SAWGP unknown-date placeholder; set to Unknown. EstBirthYear derived from that date cleared. SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 93660942PY cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "MABANNE, TUMPENG LION" (RFN, Sterf 27 09 94), matching PersonNumber 31445 (Mabanne, DateDeath 1994-09-27) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "93660942PY". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
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 ("7 South African Infantry Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
