Marumo , John (J)

Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 23 against this record's 21. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
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".
14 Oct 2026: FirstName "First Name Unknown" cleared -- a literal placeholder string, not a real name, treated as blank per John's instruction extending the Khaile (31046) fix. Initials cleared too, having been equally corrupted to the placeholder "F N U".
14 Oct 2026: AGE-SHARING CLUSTER NOTED, NOT CLEARED. Age 21 shared with the immediately following record, Marutla (31645) -- contiguous pair, no concurrent source gives a replacement figure; left as found pending a decision on this wider sweep.
14 Oct 2026: CONFIRMED CONTAMINATION, CLEARED (not replaced -- no concurrent source gives a figure). Age 21 was shared identically with the immediately following record, Marutla (31645) -- contiguous pair.
14 Oct 2026: SAWGP gives this man's real given name, John (Initials J) -- filled in now that the junk placeholder is cleared. Unit "4 South African Infantry Battalion" matches this record's own Regiment field value -- apparently transposed against SAWGP's convention, not restructured, flagged as an observation.
