SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 76900182SP cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "VASCO, NOE" (RFN, Sterf 23 04 82), matching PersonNumber 33666 (Vasco, DateDeath 1982-04-23) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "76900182SP". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong. | Unit was incorrectly set to "32 (Buffalo) Battalion" (a SADF unit not formed until 1975) — impossible for this pre-1975 death. Found and cleared 27 Aug 2026 while investigating a family correction email about PersonNumber 31346 (Lipschild), which had the same wrong Unit; a further check found 22 other pre-1975 records sharing it. Root cause not identified (no source in this record names a unit at all beyond the generic Unit2 arm-of-service tag, or the Regiment already on file) — Unit left blank rather than guessed.
