Research notes

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 70201470BT cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "PAULEY, CHRISTIAAN HENDRIK" (RFN, Sterf 09 09 76), matching PersonNumber 32441 (Pauley, DateDeath 1976-09-09) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "70201470BT". 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.
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Christiaan Hendrik") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 32441 ("Pauley, Christiaan Hendrik", initials C H) -- this record's own stored initials (B) don't match "Christiaan Hendrik" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 32441 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed.
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 33 against this record's 17. 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".
