Simwanza (J S)

Mike Sandham OMISSIONS: 21 SEPTEMBER (mailed 21 Sep 2026, credited The South Africa War Graves Project unless otherwise specified): "21 Sep 1987: No record on South Africa War Graves Project. Rfn J S Simwanza from 701 Battalion, South West African Territory Force" -- sourced by Mike to The War In Angola Information Portal, Roll of Honour Member Dedications (tabid=1596&Parameter=3463). NEW ROH record. NOT a SAWGP entry.
- NOT the Simwanza already on this roll. PersonNumber 48717 is Rifleman B Simwanza, also 701 Battalion and also sourced from the War In Angola roll, but with different initials, a service number (77754831HO) and a different death: killed in action on 5 July 1981. Two men of one surname in one battalion. Cross-referenced both ways rather than merged.
- No service number, age or circumstance of death is given for this man.
- THE CITED PAGE IS NOT RECOVERABLE. warinangola.com disallows automated access, and the Internet Archive's index of that site holds no snapshot of Parameter=3463 -- it is absent from the 694 dedication pages the Archive did capture. Mike's transcription is, for now, the only copy of this entry we hold. Noted in the light of Johan Schoeman's death and the preservation review of 18 Sep 2026.
