Research notes
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".

Lyall Sole - a school friend of mine who, as I recall, succumbed to injuries sustained during a training excercise when he fell under the wheels of an armoured vehicle. A sad loss of a young life.
