Research notes


Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: ServiceNo CORRECTED P/21785 -> 05547500. The stored number was contamination, not a reading of this man's record: PersonNumbers 41588 to 41593 -- 6 consecutive records -- all carried the identical number P/21785, which belongs to the record at the head of that run (41588, Knottenbelt, Cyril Charles (C C)). A value repeated down a consecutive block of PersonNumbers is a forward-fill import artefact, not men who shared a service number. Mike's log supplies a different and plausible number for this man specifically, so the stored value is known-wrong regardless of whether the replacement proves exact. The displaced value is recorded here.
