Research notes


Mark Adams (researching SADF medics of the Border War, ROH email 12 Apr 2016): all details (ServiceNo, DateDeath, age, cemetery, corps) already matched exactly. Follow-up email same day asked about the photo-request procedure -- his own question to John, no record data attached.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Medical Health". Across the roll 787 records carried such a contradiction; judged against Corps and Regiment -- independent of both columns -- the evidence backed Branch 744 times and Unit2 not once. Branch is therefore kept and the contradicting word removed. Nothing is guessed: this man's branch of service is already recorded, and his sub-unit, if any, is simply not known.
