Research notes
26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "Infantry School Oudtshoorn" → Northern Transvaal Command (SAWGP Regiment, no Unit); Regiment "Norther" → Northern Transvaal Command (SAWGP Regiment).
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".
