Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 68444918N cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "MARRIOTT, RICHARD NEVILLE" (RFN, Sterf 13 09 70), matching PersonNumber 31630 (Marriott, DateDeath 1970-09-13) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "68444918N". 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.
