DateDeath was 1900/1901-01-01 SAWGP unknown-date placeholder; set to Unknown. EstBirthYear derived from that date cleared. SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 74313552BB cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "ROE, LIONEL ASHLEY" (L CPL, Sterf 01 12 78), matching PersonNumber 32717 (Roe, DateDeath 1978-12-01) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "74313552BB". 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 ("Lionel Ashley") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 32717 ("Roe, Lionel Ashley", initials L A) -- this record's own stored initials (H S) don't match "Lionel Ashley" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 32717 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed.
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".
