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 27 against this record's 38. 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".
9 Oct 2026: CONFIRMED CONTAMINATION, CORRECTED. Age 38 cleared -- shared with Ras (32637) and Ratsomo (32639), a fragmented run broken by Ratshikana (32638, blank age), same signature as the Eric B and Twycross/Kamwanga/Haupindi fixes. Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 9 Oct 2026, gives this man as age 27 -- recorded here, not applied over the cleared value. UNIT CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: stored Unit "Sasolburg Commando"; Graham names "1 Parachute Battalion" (consistent with this record's own cause, a parachute-training death). Flagged for review -- Unit values are not reliably part of this contamination signature (see the 28 Sep sweep correction), so not cleared alongside Age.
9 Oct 2026: Age 27 applied from Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 9 Oct 2026, per John's instruction to apply stated figures over cleared contaminated values going forward.
