Research notes
26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "32 (Buffalo) Battalion" → Sector 20 (SAWGP Regiment, no Unit); Regiment "Sector 2" → Sector 20 (SAWGP Regiment).
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".

I am sending a photo of his grave, in the Messina cemetery, which was his home town. As can seen from the photo info about his birth date and date of death and his unit ( 8th SAI) can be seen. He died in an accident during border duty. Hope this helps.
