Research notes



10 Sep 2026: Cleared FirstName "Basie" and ServiceNo 79521167BT shared with Riekert cluster 32689-32692. Regiment Bushman cleared pending real unit. Mike Sandham high-confidence FN pass.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: filled Regiment, RegimentID -- each of these was EMPTY on this record and no existing value was changed. Derived fields recomputed inline where applicable.
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 24. 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".
