Research notes

26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "8th Infantry" → Eastern Province Command (SAWGP Regiment, no Unit); Regiment "SA Army" → Eastern Province Command (SAWGP Regiment).
Mike Sandham omissions mail 7 Sep 2026: queried this record as possibly contaminated by its neighbour, 32755 Rowe. Confirmed: FirstName "Nicholas Charles Alexander (nick)" was copied from 32755 (whose own Initials "N C A" genuinely match); this record's own Initials "E G" don't match at all. Today's Graham Last Post independently gives "E G Rowen", matching the stored Initials exactly. Cleared rather than guessed. ServiceNo suffix PE added (was 81481251), matching the post. NOT resolved: post gives age 32, this record has always shown 28 -- flagged, not overwritten.
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".
