Research notes
13 Sep 2026: Pinetown Roll of Honour confirms: Rifleman Jean Pierre du Preez, 3 South African Infantry Battalion, died 03-1988 (matches this record's 1988-03-03), attended Pinetown Boys High. Named on the Wayside Cross, Pinetown.
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".
