Madiele (M W)

26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "1 South African Infantry Battalion" → Army Gymnasium (SAWGP Unit).
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 ("Army Gymnasium") 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".
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 27 Sep 2026: "97060966 Rifleman M. W. Madiele. He was 22."
- FORENAME CLEARED, and it was never his. This record's FirstName read "Andrew John", which cannot produce its own Initials, "M W". PersonNumber 31471, immediately above, is Andrew John Madden (A J) -- the value is his, forward-filled onto a different surname entirely. Graham gives only initials, "M. W.", which match this record's own Initials column exactly and confirm it was never touched. No forename is put in its place, because the real one is not known here.
- AGE CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: this record holds 19, Graham gives 22.
