Research notes
Cleared stolen ServiceNo 79880498HX (also on Tjiumbu U. PN 33303, Koevoet, 1988-04-05; Graham gave no number).
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 25 against this record's 24 (a difference of one year, so most likely a birthday-not-yet-reached transcription difference rather than a real disagreement). This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
