Ward , Raymond (R)

SADF Wall of Remembrance (Voortrekker Monument): named on photograph "1977 SAA (Kruger–Maquinda, Walker–Wilters) to 1978 SAA (Amorim–Cassamano, Hunter–Mandunga)". 1977 Army. Right column. 2nd name from the top (Ward R.).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Catering Corps" (a branch, not a specific regiment) moved to Corps, per John's decision on the broader Regiment/Corps field-swap review.
21 Sep 2026: Unit corrected 101 Battalion -> 35 Battalion. This man died on 1977-06-21, before the unit took the name 101 Battalion: it was designated 35 Battalion until the South West Africa Territory Force was established on 1 August 1980, a rename this roll already recorded in OrgEntityAlias. Prompted by Mike Sandham's correction of 20 Sep 2026 on Shangweni (32903), applied across every 1980 SWATF rename. The later name is not wrong as a way of identifying the unit today -- sources compiled afterwards routinely use it -- but it is not the name this man served under.
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".
