Research notes

26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "115 South African Infantry Battalion" → Lenz Military Base (SAWGP Regiment, no Unit); Regiment "SA Army" → Lenz Military Base (SAWGP Regiment).
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 7 Sep 2026: gives only "P L Mmatloa" -- confirms the existing FirstName "Sibusiso Louis" cannot be right (doesn't match stored Initials "P L"; it was copied from the immediately preceding record, 31934 Mlungwana, whose own Initials "S L" genuinely match "Sibusiso Louis"). Cleared rather than guessed, same pattern as the standing contamination project. Unit "Lentz Military Base" added (was blank, no conflict).
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".
