Research notes
Col (rt) Graham du Toit, Last Post, 29 Aug 2026: Sgt P.C.F.D.P. Cohen, Soutpansberg Military Area Provost Unit, military vehicle accident at Messina, age 27. Matches ROH record.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
