Research notes

Cleared stolen ServiceNo 77389005PE (belongs to Sieberhagen R.G. PN 32947, 1999).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("28 Squadron") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
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".
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Frans Krige' and Age 24 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 32949 down a contiguous run of 2 records -- this record's own LastName ('Sigidi'), Initials ('M'), ServiceNo ('') and DateDeath ('1993-01-01') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('28 Squadron') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
