Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 21 Aug 2026: Rifleman Johannes August Rossouw, 1 SAI, killed in a private motor vehicle accident near Colesburg while on a weekend pass, age 19. Same vehicle as Cpl Hermann Francois Theron. Graham gave no service number — none invented. New ROH record (not on SAWGP at research time).
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
