Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 83885749SWH cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '83' implies registration circa 1983 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1967. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1902, a mismatch; PersonNumber 41520 (Handura, implied birth circa 1965) fits instead. Original value: "83885749SWH".
