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 ("101 Battalion, Romeo Mike Team") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
Mike Sandham OMISSIONS: 19 SEPTEMBER (mailed 19 Sep 2026, credited The South Africa War Graves Project unless otherwise specified): CONTAMINATION CONFIRMED AND CLEARED. Mike asks "Person # 32179 to 32181 First name contaminated by 32178?" -- he is right, and 32183 is contaminated from 32182 the same way. This record's FirstName read "Theophillus", copied from PersonNumber 32178, while its own Initials are "B", which that forename cannot produce. The forename has been CLEARED rather than guessed at: the initials are the surviving evidence of this man's name and they are kept. Same forward-fill import artefact as the ServiceNo contamination swept on 16 Sep 2026.
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".
