Research notes

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 63097208E cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "MARSHALL, LESLIE JOHN" (CAPT, Sterf 02 02 73), matching PersonNumber 31635 (Marshall, DateDeath 1973-02-02) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "63097208E". 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.
4 Sep 2026: Unit leftover "Corps Signal Regiment" (a named regiment, not a sub-unit) moved to Regiment. Corps unchanged.
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.
