Smith , Joseph Rudolph Gideon (J R G)

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 77216448BG cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "SMITH, JAN HENDRIK" (SPR, Sterf 20 05 81), matching PersonNumber 33019 (Smith, DateDeath 1981-05-20) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "77216448BG". 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.
5 Sep 2026: Unit "25 Field Squadron" (a squadron, SAAF's regiment-equivalent) promoted to Regiment, per John's decision. Corps (South African Air Force) unchanged.
