Research notes

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 96700257PV cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "MARSH, BRONWYN MARK" (AB, Sterf 01 07 99), matching PersonNumber 31632 (Marsh, DateDeath 1999-07-01) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "96700257PV". 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.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Navy" 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.
