Son of Mr. P. B. Van Tonder, of Vanderbijlpark.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 18 Aug 2026: 72201189E Private Paul Bernadus van Tonder, Air Force Base Ysterplaat, killed in a private motor vehicle accident near Leeugamka while on official vacation leave, age 17. Graham rank Private; ROH Airman (not overwritten). Unit was 10 Armoured Car Squadron — corrected to AFB Ysterplaat. Service number suffix E added.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Air Force" 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 "Air Force".
