Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 18 Sep 2025: 74296518BT Corporal Johannes Jacobus van Staden, Transvaal Scottish, died in a private motor vehicle accident, age 23. ROH first name is Jurie Jeramiah; age is 22; cause is drowned at Epupa Falls, Cunene River (not overwritten).
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 18 Sep 2026: "74296518BT Corporal Jurie Jeremia van Staden from the Transvaal Scottish, attached to 102 Battalion SWATF accidentally drowned at the Epupa Falls on the Cunene River while on patrol. He was 22." The 102 Battalion SWATF attachment was not on this record; added to PersonUnitAttachment rather than overwriting the stored Unit "1 Transvaal Scottish". Forename spelling flagged: Graham "Jeremia", this record "Jeramiah".
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".
