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".
13 Oct 2026: Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 13 Oct 2026, gives the fuller account: found dead in his quarters at Rundu; no foul play suspected, as everybody's whereabouts had been accounted for and nobody had entered the area where his body was found. UNIT CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: stored Unit "35 Squadron"; Graham instead names "the Technical Service Corps". No contamination signature found -- the surrounding "35 Squadron" variants (Strecker 33139 "35 Squadron (Colonial)", Stroyan 33141 "35 Squadron (Army)") are distinct qualified strings, not identical forward-filled copies. Flagged for review. Service number, rank, date, age and cause already matched.
