Research notes


Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 10 Sep 2026: Air Mechanic David Henry Liversage Heenop, School of Technical Training, found dead Kilnerton Road Colbyn Pretoria, self-inflicted gunshot wound head, age 26. Unit corrected: stored "Pay Branch" (UnitID 1159) is batch forward-fill shared with neighbours 41710-41716; Graham names School of Technical Training (OrgEntity 3715). AddInfo already notes he was a kettlemaker at the SAAF in Voortrekkerhoogte, which fits Technical Training better than Pay Branch. CauseDeath/age/rank/ServiceNo P/15983 already matched. Not on Bushwar Books same-day post.
16 Sep 2026, ServiceNo contamination sweep: the stored ServiceNo 'P/15983' was CLEARED. It was not a reading of this man's record. PersonNumbers 41709 to 41714 -- 6 consecutive records -- all carried the identical number, which belongs to the record at the head of that run (41709, Janse Van Rensburg, Jurie Johannes (J J)). A value repeated down an unbroken block of PersonNumbers is a forward-fill import artefact, not men who shared a service number; the pattern holds across 850 such runs on this roll and is independently confirmed by Mike Sandham's research log, which attaches such numbers to the head of the run 167 times against 6 contradictions (all examined). No replacement is guessed: this man's real service number is simply not known, and a blank field says so honestly where another man's number did not.
