Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 27 Jul 2026: 89096606CK Rifleman Alan Fuller, 3 SAI, accidentally killed at the Vooruitsig Shooting Range after being struck by a bullet that ricocheted off a stone wall during live-fire practice, age 21. ROH had Vooruisig.
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".
