26 Aug 2026: Corps from SAWGP Regiment South African Armoured Corps; Unit leftover "1 Parachute Battalion" → School of Armour (SAWGP Unit).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("School of Armour") 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".
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Owageng Abelt' and Age 23 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 32034 down a contiguous run of 8 records -- this record's own LastName ('Motlhale'), Initials ('B M'), ServiceNo ('92660943') and DateDeath ('1998-10-02') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('School of Armour') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
