Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 81268450BG cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '81' implies registration circa 1981 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1965. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1959, a mismatch; PersonNumber 33048 (Solomon, implied birth circa 1966) fits instead. Original value: "81268450BG".
