Research notes
16 Oct 2026: CORRECTED. Regiment/Unit were stored as blank/"32 (Buffalo) Battalion". Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 16 Oct 2026 (AFB Swartkop), and SAWGP (southafricawargraves.org/search/details.php?id=29727 -- NOTE: same number as this record's own PersonNumber, coincidence, flagged) independently agree: Regiment South African Air Force, Unit AFB Swartkop. ServiceNo suffix filled to "70386255E" (was "70386255", missing the branch suffix) per Graham.
