Research notes
Cleared stolen ServiceNo 89031595BV (belongs to Pius P. PN 32529, Koevoet, 1987-01-29).
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".
30 Sep 2026: ServiceNo 89031595BV filled from Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 30 Sep 2026 (was blank).
