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: gives ServiceNo P/53157 against this record's 39304. The two numbers are unrelated, not a transcription slip. Either this record's number is wrong, or Mike's entry belongs to a different man who shares the surname and date of death. Not resolved. Flagged, not changed.
