Research notes
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 19 Jul 2026: 05479993PE Warrant Officer Class I Petrus Paulus van Zyl, Special Forces Headquarters, died of disease in 1 Military Hospital, age 42. ROH age was 22 (incompatible with 05479993 PE number); unit was Special Forces.
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".
