Van Den Heever , Robert John De Wet (R J D)

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 21 Aug 2026: 65421513BT Lance Corporal Robert John De Wet van den Heever, 1 Parachute Battalion, killed when his parachute failed during a practice jump at Welkom, age 28. FirstName casing tidied from ROBERT JOHN DeWET. ServiceNo suffix BT filled. CauseCode was UNK — set to ACC.
6 Sep 2026: GraveRef was corrupted with the Mapai Puma 164 crash-site text ("Body not recovered - crash site coordinates are: S22 06' 48.2\" E31 39' 12.1\"") -- discovered while fixing that text's encoding on the genuine 17 Puma 164 casualties. This record's own DateDeath has nothing to do with that 6 Sep 1979 incident; the crash-site text does not belong here. Cleared rather than guessed -- the real GraveRef value is unknown. This record's own Cemetery/CemeteryLat/CemeteryLong were not affected and are unchanged.
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".
