Engelbrecht , Jacobus Wynand Mathyse (J W M)

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 10 Feb 2026: Private Wynand Mathyse Engelbrecht, 5 Base Ordnance Depot Pretoria, suffered a cerebral aneurysm and died in 1 Military Hospital shortly after admission, age 33. Graham gave no service number. ROH first names are Jacobus Wynand Mathyse; rank was Soldier — corrected to Private; unit is 61 Base Workshop (AddInfo already notes 5BKD; not overwritten). Hospital is Voortrekkerhoogte Military Hospital (same precinct as 1 Mil).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("61 Base Workshop") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: filled Corps -- each of these was EMPTY on this record and no existing value was changed. Derived fields recomputed inline where applicable.
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/23776 -> P/46707. The stored number was contamination, not a reading of this man's record: PersonNumbers 41606 to 41614 -- 9 consecutive records -- all carried the identical number P/23776, which belongs to the record at the head of that run (41606, Kitchener, Brian Brundrett (B B)). 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.
