Taljaard (L M)

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 01510718PE cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "TALJAARD, JOHANNES NICOLAAS" (LT, Sterf 21 03 66), matching PersonNumber 33204 (Taljaard, DateDeath 1966-03-21) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "01510718PE". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Johannes Nicolaas") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 33204 ("Taljaard, Johannes Nicolaas", initials J N) -- this record's own stored initials (L M) don't match "Johannes Nicolaas" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 33204 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed, AddInfo (also an exact copy from the same neighbour) cleared likewise.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Air Force" 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 "Air Force".
12 Oct 2026: Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post, 12 Oct 2026, reports a new record (PersonNumber 49896, Daniel Jakob Taljaard, Major, Air Force Headquarters, motor cycle accident) that coincidentally shares this record's surname, rank and exact death date (2001-10-12) -- but this record's own initials ("L M"), unit ("Combat Flight School") and age (22) all disagree, so the two are kept as separate people, not merged. Flagged for review in case further research later confirms or refutes a link.
13 Oct 2026: NOTE: SAWGP's own internal id 33205 (https://www.southafricawargraves.org/search/details.php?id=33205 belongs to a DIFFERENT man, Major Daniel Jakob Taljaard of SAAF H.Q. (died 12 Oct 2001, age 31) -- see this roll's new PersonNumber 49896 -- who happens to share this record's PersonNumber purely by coincidence. Do not confuse the two, and do not assume any automatic PersonNumber=SAWGP-id deep link is correct for this record.
