ref. "Rhodesian Combined Forces Roll of Honour 1966-1981", by Adrian Haggett and Gerry van Tonder.
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 84918168SWH cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '84' implies registration circa 1984 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1968. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1949, a mismatch; PersonNumber 40876 (Kuvari, implied birth circa 1966) fits instead. Original value: "84918168SWH".
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'George Sydney' and Age 30 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 40877 down a contiguous run of 2 records -- this record's own LastName ('Makoni'), Initials ('F'), ServiceNo ('') and DateDeath ('1979-08-29') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('1st Battalion') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
