Research notes
John Dovey, 1 Sep 2026: Rfn. C.R. Oliver, Durban Light Infantry, named on the SWA/Angola 1976-1989 plaque at the Durban Light Infantry Chapel, confirmed by John (no Unit known). No existing ROH record could be confidently matched to this person during the 31 Aug 2026 memorial-building pass (three other Olivers in the plausible date range, none with matching initials) -- added as a new record on John's confirmation. Exact date of death not known.
