Research notes
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: dates of death differ -- Mike 1976-01-28 this record 1976-01-01. A gap of a few days commonly separates wounding from death, or a burial date from a death date. Flagged, not changed.
