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 37 against this record's 19. 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".
12 Oct 2026: CAUSE CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: stored CauseDeath "Died of Medical Reason, at Ermelo, while off duty"; Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 12 Oct 2026, instead says he was "killed in a military motor vehicle accident at Witkleigat while travelling as a passenger". Not cleared as contamination alongside the Age fix below, since CauseDeath has not previously been established as part of this forward-fill signature -- though worth noting the identical, adjacent record "Phiri" (no first name, PersonNumber 32493) carries the exact same CauseDeath text, which may itself warrant a closer look in a future pass. Flagged for review. Service number, rank, regiment, date already matched.
12 Oct 2026: CONFIRMED CONTAMINATION, CORRECTED. Age 19 cleared and replaced with 37 -- was shared identically across a fragmented run of five distinct real identities (Phipson 32492, Phiri 32493, Phiri M W 32494, Phirimana 32495, Phoku 32498), each (CauseDeath conflict aside, flagged separately above) otherwise unrelated -- a forward-fill signature. Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 12 Oct 2026, gives this man as 37, applied here per the 9 Oct 2026 policy.
