Jordaan , Bareno Johannes (B J)

4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("Orange Free State Command Maintenance Unit") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
16 Sep 2026, ServiceNo contamination sweep: the stored ServiceNo '82228875' was CLEARED. It was not a reading of this man's record. PersonNumbers 30904 to 30906 -- 3 consecutive records -- all carried the identical number, which belongs to the record at the head of that run (30904, Jordaan, Antoine (A)). A value repeated down an unbroken block of PersonNumbers is a forward-fill import artefact, not men who shared a service number; the pattern holds across 850 such runs on this roll and is independently confirmed by Mike Sandham's research log, which attaches such numbers to the head of the run 167 times against 6 contradictions (all examined). No replacement is guessed: this man's real service number is simply not known, and a blank field says so honestly where another man's number did not.
30 Sep 2026: Rank "Private" and Regiment "Army Service Corps" filled (both blank) from Mike Sandham (SAWGP)/Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 29 Sep 2026: "Private Barend Johannes Jordaan from the Army Service Corps was killed in a private motor vehicle accident. He was 20." DB CauseDeath left as "Died on active service" (not overwritten) -- source gives the more specific "private motor vehicle accident", noted here as a conflict, not applied. NAME SPELLING CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: DB holds "Bareno Johannes", source gives "Barend Johannes" -- stated as-is per source, not corrected on assumption.
