Research notes

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 04 Aug 2026: 89611768BG Lance Corporal Craig Adrian Maguire, Army Battle School, died from a gunshot wound accidentally sustained in the Army Battle School training area, age 21. | Also Last Post 04 Aug 2024: 89611768BG Lance Corporal Craig Adrian Maguire, Army Battle School, accidental gunshot in the training area, age 21.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Training Corps" (a branch, not a specific regiment) moved to Corps, per John's decision on the broader Regiment/Corps field-swap review.
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.
