Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 82807611SCN cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '82' implies registration circa 1982 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1966. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1901, a mismatch; PersonNumber 41524 (Van Neel, implied birth circa 1964) fits instead. Original value: "82807611SCN".
