Research notes


Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 27 Sep 2026: "79218160BG Rifleman Coenraad Johannes Jacobus Bel from 4 SAI was killed in a private motor vehicle accident while on a weekend pass. He was 22." Confirms the record and adds that he was on a weekend pass, which this record did not say.
- SURNAME SPELLING, NOT CHANGED: this record holds "Bell"; Graham gives "Bel". Not resolved either way.
