Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 27 Jul 2026: 83429639BG Rifleman James Richard Willard Rudd, 3 SAI, killed in a military vehicle accident at Omauni, age 18. ROH place-name was Omhuni.
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".
