Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 28 Sep 2026: "68010826PE Staff Sergeant Raymond Els from 4 Electronic Workshop suffered a heart attack at the Unit and died while being transported to Sishen Hospital. He was 48." NEW ROH record -- the service number appears nowhere on the roll. Corps set to South African Corps of Signals, Force SADF, Branch Army, matching this roll's other 3 Electronic Workshop records (no 4 Electronic Workshop record existed here before this one); not stated by Graham directly.
Mike Sandham (SAWGP) omissions email, 28 Sep 2026: "68010826PE Staff Sergeant Raymond Els from 4 Electronic Workshop, South African Corps of Signals Died of heart attack, en-route to Sishen Hospital. He was on duty. He was 48." Confirms this record in full, including the Corps (already correctly set).
