SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 71434153PE cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '71' implies registration circa 1971 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1955. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1943, a mismatch; PersonNumber 41494 (Heyns, implied birth circa 1955) fits instead. Original value: "71434153PE". 26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "8 South African Infantry Battalion" → Rhodesian Light Infantry (SAWGP Regiment, no Unit).
