Son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Hendriksen, of Pinetown.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit, Last Post, 29 Aug 2026: Cpl K. Hendriksen, 5 SAI, fell from a moving train at Pieters Station near Ladysmith while preventing a prisoner in his custody from escaping, age 22. Matches ROH record.
13 Sep 2026: Pinetown Roll of Honour independently confirms Cpl Kirk Hendriksen, attended Pinetown Boys High -- their source ("5 SAI Training Unit", died 30-08-1987) gives a date one day later than Graham du Toit's Last Post already on this record (29-08-1987, the Pieters Station train incident); not resolved. 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".
