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).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "Rhodesian Corps of Engineers" (a branch, not a specific regiment) moved to Corps, per John's decision on the broader Regiment/Corps field-swap review.
25 Sep 2026, Rhodesian squadron split: this record was moved from the combined entity "3 Squadron (RSF)" to "3 Squadron, Rhodesian Corps of Engineers". That entity held both the Rhodesian Air Force flying squadron and the Rhodesian Corps of Engineers squadron of the same number, which are unrelated units; it was created by a cleanup that split shared squadron names by Force alone, and Force does not separate two Rhodesian squadrons. This record is assigned on the evidence of its own Corps column naming the Rhodesian Corps of Engineers outright, not on the squadron number.
