Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 15 Oct 2025: 78680338CK Corporal James Barnard Phillander, South African Cape Corps, Killed in Action during a contact with SWAPO/PLAN insurgents in Northern Owamboland, age 22. ROH rank is Lance Corporal, age 19; cause is hanged himself at Kimberley (not overwritten).
SADF Wall of Remembrance (Voortrekker Monument): named on photograph "1978 SAA (Castle–Havenga, Mennigke–Wolfgang)". 1978 Army. Right column. 9th name from the top (Phillander J.B.).
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 22 against this record's 19. 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".
