Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 79012019PE cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '79' implies registration circa 1979 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1963. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1910, a mismatch; PersonNumber 41496 (Crawley, implied birth circa 1961) fits instead. Original value: "79012019PE".
