Research notes
Colyn Brookes, Mibisa: Volume One – Western Cape (Lulu, 2013, ISBN 9781447682523): Bellville-Stickland Cemetery, Strand Road.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 7 Sep 2026: confirmed name/rank/date/age/cause. Unit enriched to match Du Plessis (34532) -- his colleague, killed in the same contact and evacuated together the same day; this record's own Unit ("Swapol-Tin") was an abbreviated form of the same unit already spelled out fully there. NOT resolved: post gives ServiceNo W411583B, this record has always shown W411534B -- flagged, not overwritten.
