Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 23 May 2024: 77387944BT 2/Lieutenant Jacobus Edward Visser, 202 Battalion SWATF, killed in a motor cycle accident at Rundu, age 23. ROH age 22 left (1977-prefix SN; Graham 23 noted). Cause already matched Rundu motorcycle accident.
14 Sep 2026: Pro Patria Medal added -- database-wide sweep for SADF Border War operational-area deaths within the medal's gazetted window (25 Jun 1976 - 27 Apr 2003), per the warrant's died-before-qualifying-period provision. See PersonAward.Citation for the gazette references.
14 Sep 2026: Pro Patria Medal added earlier today REVERTED -- John obtained the actual Government Gazette (GG 5171/5575); the "died before completing the qualifying period" provision relied on does not exist in the primary text (it was a secondary-source claim). Actual Rule 5 requires (a) combat/enemy-caused incident, (b) a Ministerially-acknowledged operation (clasp), or (c) 55+ continuous/90+ non-continuous days in an operational area -- none of which this record's cause of death clearly demonstrates.
