Notes

Ref. "Rhodesian Roll of Honour" by P. Geldenhuys (Roll compiled by Dr. J. R. T. Wood). Amendments from Rhodesian Combined Forces Roll of Honour 1966-1981, by Adrian Haggett and Gerry van Tonder.

Research notes

Geldenhuys, Prop. Rhodesian War Casualties. 3rd printing. JustDone / Lulu, 2009 (Rhodesia: Roll of Honour).
Geldenhuys scrape duplicate PersonNumber 49051 deleted 27 Aug 2026 (Wright + Churchill ROH glue; date/aircraft are Boulter, Raymond John, Provost T52 R6309, 19 Jun 1975.)
5 Sep 2026: Regiment/Unit swapped -- "4 Squadron (RSF)" (the specific squadron) moved to Regiment; "Rhodesian Air Force" (the force-wide designation) moved to Unit, per John's decision.
7 Sep 2026: GraveRef ("Cremated, ashes placed in brother's grave") is identical across 16 consecutive PersonNumbers with unrelated surnames and different actual cemeteries already on file -- cannot literally be true for 16 different people. Same forward-fill contamination pattern as the Mapai Puma 164 crash-site text (fixed 6 Sep 2026). Cleared rather than guessed; the real GraveRef value is unknown.
