Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 22 Jun 2025: Staff Sergeant Hans Van Wyk, South African Infantry Corps, killed in a private motor vehicle accident, age 36. Graham gave no service number. ROH rank is Corporal; unit is Orange Free State Command Maintenance Unit (not overwritten).
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".
