Research notes


Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 23 Sep 2026: 84431386BG Airman Petrus Francois Terblanche, Air Force Gymnasium, age 19. ServiceNo suffix BG added (same digits). Cause of death filled in: complications arising from measles and pneumonia.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Air Force". Across the roll 787 records carried such a contradiction; judged against Corps and Regiment -- independent of both columns -- the evidence backed Branch 744 times and Unit2 not once. Branch is therefore kept and the contradicting word removed. Nothing is guessed: this man's branch of service is already recorded, and his sub-unit, if any, is simply not known.
