SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 83809517SC cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "VALLIEN, WILLEM" (SPR, Sterf 12 02 85), matching PersonNumber 33380 (Vallien, DateDeath 1985-02-12) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "83809517SC". 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.
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Willem") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 33380 ("Vallien, Willem", initials W) -- this record's own stored initials (P G) don't match "Willem" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 33380 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 ("1 SWA Engineer Regiment") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
