Research notes


7 Sep 2026: CauseDeath was a forward-fill copy from PN 33616 (Wembie, Marcelino A (M A)), an unrelated record -- cleared as contamination (CauseDeath-contamination scan, data/causedeath-contamination-scan-2026-09-07.md), not a real cause.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 13 Sep 2026 / Bushwar Books Lest We Forget 13 September (https://www.warbooks.co.za/posts/lest-we-forget-13-september/ 91073696CK Rifleman Amos van Wyk, South African Cape Corps, SAMIL 20 overturned near Richmond, died in Grey's Hospital, age 16/17/19 (three different ages). CauseDeath filled from "Cause of death not established" using Graham. CONFLICTS flagged, not changed: age — Graham 16, Bushwar 17, stored/ROH 19; Graham says he was "traveling" in the SAMIL 20, Bushwar says he was "driving" it — not resolved.
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 17 against this record's 19. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
