Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 95246336PV cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '95' implies registration circa 1995 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1979. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1865, a mismatch; PersonNumber 31819 (McHunu, implied birth circa 1977) fits instead. Original value: "95246336PV".
