Research notes

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 15 Oct 2025: 86716825HN Lance Corporal Joseph Montslo Moletsane, 115 Battalion, accidentally killed when his Buffel Troop Carrier overturned during a patrol in Mamelodi, age 25. ROH unit was 4 SAI (regiment already 115 SAI); locality Macadamia; age 20 (not overwritten).
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: filled Corps -- each of these was EMPTY on this record and no existing value was changed. Derived fields recomputed inline where applicable.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 25 against this record's 20. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
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".
