Ref SANDF 1998 RoH
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 ("South West Africa Police Counter-Insurgency Wing: Ops-K Division (KOEVOET)") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
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 31 against this record's 23. 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".
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Motsemoholo Joseph' and Age 23 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 32054 down a contiguous run of 2 records -- this record's own LastName ('Mphasha'), Initials ('E M'), ServiceNo ('81539447') and DateDeath ('1998-03-23') 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 ('South West Africa Police Counter-Insurgency Wing: Ops-K Division (KOEVOET)') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
