Research notes

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (daily-post corroboration): ServiceNo 94814530 cleared -- PersonNumber 31757 (Mbunguha, Tsaanda) has this number explicitly confirmed by a Graham Last Post / Mike Sandham / Bushwar Books citation already on file, and this record's copy conflicts with it (different name, different DateDeath). Original value: "94814530".
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("South West Africa Police Counter-Insurgency Wing: Ops-K Division (KOEVOET)") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
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".
