25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Air Force". Across the roll 787 records carried such a contradiction; judged against Corps and Regiment -- independent of both columns -- the evidence backed Branch 744 times and Unit2 not once. Branch is therefore kept and the contradicting word removed. Nothing is guessed: this man's branch of service is already recorded, and his sub-unit, if any, is simply not known.
12 Oct 2026: UNIT CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: stored Unit "53 Battalion"; Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 12 Oct 2026, instead names "the School of Technical Training". No contamination signature found in the surrounding Blom/Boas/Bock block (29471-29481, all distinct units). Flagged for review. Minor distance variance also noted, not treated as a hard conflict: stored account gives "3 miles from Middelburg"; Graham gives "8km from Middelburg" (roughly 5 miles) -- same accident, imprecise retelling either way. ServiceNo, date, age and cause already matched exactly.
