Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 85323301BT cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '85' implies registration circa 1985 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1969. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1977, a mismatch; PersonNumber 41884 (Swanepoel, implied birth circa 1969) fits instead. Original value: "85323301BT".
