Research notes


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 ("202 Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
11 Oct 2026: UNIT CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: stored Unit "202 Battalion" (shared with the immediately preceding record, Bartleson, 41821, an unrelated hit-and-run fatality in Durban -- possibly itself a forward-fill artefact, but only two records share the value and Bartleson's own cause/age/date are all otherwise consistent and distinct, so not cleared as confirmed contamination); Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 11 Oct 2026, instead names "1 Military Detention Barracks (1 MDB) in Pretoria", which fits this record's rank (Warrant Officer Class I) and the Valhalla/Pretoria location well. Flagged for review. Service number, age, date and cause already matched.
