Research notes

SADF Wall of Remembrance (Voortrekker Monument): named on photograph "1977 SAA (Kruger–Maquinda, Walker–Wilters) to 1978 SAA (Amorim–Cassamano, Hunter–Mandunga)". 1977 Army. Left column. 10th name from the top. Wall engraving is MAQUINDA (see 31587); this ROH row is Muquindia.
16 Sep 2026, ServiceNo contamination sweep: the stored ServiceNo '94846052' was CLEARED. It was not a reading of this man's record. PersonNumbers 32112 to 32113 -- 2 consecutive records -- all carried the identical number, which belongs to the record at the head of that run (32112, Munyai, David Gordon (M J)). A value repeated down an unbroken block of PersonNumbers is a forward-fill import artefact, not men who shared a service number; the pattern holds across 850 such runs on this roll and is independently confirmed by Mike Sandham's research log, which attaches such numbers to the head of the run 167 times against 6 contradictions (all examined). No replacement is guessed: this man's real service number is simply not known, and a blank field says so honestly where another man's number did not.
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".
