Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 72393762PE cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "NORTJE, GERHARDUS FREDERIK" (SGT, Sterf 01 02 86), matching PersonNumber 32308 (Nortje, DateDeath 1986-02-01) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "72393762PE". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
