Research notes
Cleared stolen ServiceNo 77626497BG (belongs to Williams O.C. PN 33880, 5 SAI attd 101 Bn Romeo Mike, 1983-03-07; this record is 1969).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("5 South African Infantry Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
