Research notes
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".
4 Oct 2026: AGE CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: stored Age 20; Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 4 Oct 2026, gives "He was 25". Cause (stabbed at De Aar, argument with an unknown woman) and unit (97 Ammunition Depot) match exactly. Flagged for human review.
