Uys-Olivier (W J C)

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 01488550PE cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "UYS, PIETER BENJAMIN" (MAJ, Sterf 29 10 75), matching PersonNumber 33375 (Uys, DateDeath 1975-10-29) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "01488550PE". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong. 26 Aug 2026: Corps from SAWGP Regiment South West African Territory Force; Unit leftover "17 Squadron" → 911 Battalion (SAWGP Unit).
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Pieter Benjamin") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 33375 ("Uys, Pieter Benjamin", initials P B) -- this record's own stored initials (W J C) don't match "Pieter Benjamin" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 33375 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed, AddInfo (also an exact copy from the same neighbour) cleared likewise.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("911 Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
7 Sep 2026: CauseDeath was a forward-fill copy from PN 33375 (Uys, Pieter Benjamin (P B)), an unrelated record -- cleared as contamination (CauseDeath-contamination scan, data/causedeath-contamination-scan-2026-09-07.md), not a real cause.
21 Sep 2026: Regiment corrected 911 Battalion -> 41 Battalion. This man died on 1980-02-02, before the unit took the name 911 Battalion: it was designated 41 Battalion until the South West Africa Territory Force was established on 1 August 1980, a rename this roll already recorded in OrgEntityAlias. Prompted by Mike Sandham's correction of 20 Sep 2026 on Shangweni (32903), applied across every 1980 SWATF rename. The later name is not wrong as a way of identifying the unit today -- sources compiled afterwards routinely use it -- but it is not the name this man served under.
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".
