Research notes
26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "1 South African Infantry Battalion" → Workshops (SAWGP Unit); Regiment "South African Army" → Witwatersrand Command (SAWGP Regiment).
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 ("Workshops") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
