ref. SANDF 1998 Roll of Honour
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("10 South African Infantry Battalion") 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".
Mike Sandham (SAWGP) omissions email, 28 Sep 2026, flagged this record as contaminated by PersonNumber 31801 ("Person # 31802->31807 contaminated by 31801"). FirstName 'Matlhomola Sameul' was a forward-fill import artefact from 31801 (Mokoto, Matlhomola Sameul) -- this record's own Initials (D M) are distinct from every other record in the run, confirming a genuinely different man whose real first name was simply never captured, same pattern as the 16 Sep 2026 ServiceNo sweep on PersonNumber 31534/31535. FirstName CLEARED (Name now surname-only); no replacement guessed. Age (23) NOT touched -- shared by non-contaminated neighbours 31800/31808 too, so not comparably strong evidence of the same artifact.
