Research notes

26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "503 Squadron" → Wallmansthal Assembly Area (SAWGP Regiment, no Unit); Regiment "Wallman" → Wallmansthal Assembly Area (SAWGP Regiment).
16 Sep 2026, found while checking the civilian convention prompted by Hamilton (30605): FIELD ERROR flagged, not fixed. Regiment and Unit both read "Wallman" (OrgEntity 5534), which is not a unit at all -- it is a truncation of Wallmannsthal, the PLACE where he died, as his own CauseDeath confirms ("Died of heart attack, at Wallmansthall Sick Bay"). Proper entities already exist: "Wallmannsthal Assembly Area" (3723) and "Wallmannsthal Training Area" (5923). A duplicate junk OrgEntity "WALLMAN" (5355) also exists with no records attached. This is the only record using the truncated form. Not corrected here because his actual employing unit is unknown -- the place is not a substitute for it. Unit2 "Army" also junk. Rank "Mr", CA service number.
