Short , Robert John (R J)

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 23 Sep 2026: "25014 Warrant Officer Class II Robert John Short from the South African Corps of Signals died of tuberculosis in 1 Military Hospital. He was 46." NEW ROH record -- the only Short on the roll died in 1983.
Mike Sandham OMISSIONS: 23 SEPTEMBER (mailed 23 Sep 2026, credited The South Africa War Graves Project unless otherwise specified): "23 Sep 1950: 25014 Warrant Officer Class II Robert John Short from the South African Corps of Signals Died of tuberculosis, at Voortrekkerhoogte Military Hospital. He was 46." INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION of this record, created earlier the same day from Graham du Toit's Last Post. Every field agrees; Mike names the hospital as Voortrekkerhoogte where Graham says 1 Military Hospital -- the same place, Voortrekkerhoogte being where 1 Mil stands.
