Research notes
26 Aug 2026: Corps from SAWGP Regiment South African Infantry Corps; Unit leftover "32 (Buffalo) Battalion" → 3 South African Infantry Battalion (SAWGP Unit).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("3 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.
