Research notes


Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 13 Sep 2026 / Bushwar Books Lest We Forget 13 September (https://www.warbooks.co.za/posts/lest-we-forget-13-september/ 05469085PE Chief Petty Officer Colin George Clement Oosthuis, Naval Base Simonstown, heart attack while presenting a lecture at the Catering School, died later in 2 Mil Hospital, age 42. CauseDeath enriched (heart attack; presenting a lecture). SN/age/place already matched. Bushwar Books drops the surname "Oosthuis" from its transcription (site quirk, not a real conflict).
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Navy" 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 "Navy".
