Research notes

26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "1 South African Infantry Battalion" → Maintenance Unit (SAWGP Unit); Regiment "SA Army" → Natal Command (SAWGP Regiment).
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 36 against this record's 25. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 23 Sep 2026 (23 Sep 2026): FirstName CLEARED. It read "Azwifarwi Elvis", copied from PersonNumber 31515 (Makhado, whose initials A E match it), against this record's own initials E N. Found while correcting the same contamination on 31517.
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".
