16 Sep 2026, ServiceNo contamination sweep: the stored ServiceNo '603881-6' was CLEARED. It was not a reading of this man's record. PersonNumbers 35294 to 35295 -- 2 consecutive records -- all carried the identical number, which belongs to the record at the head of that run (35294, Kubyane, Stephanus Johannes Paulus (M N)). A value repeated down an unbroken block of PersonNumbers is a forward-fill import artefact, not men who shared a service number; the pattern holds across 850 such runs on this roll and is independently confirmed by Mike Sandham's research log, which attaches such numbers to the head of the run 167 times against 6 contradictions (all examined). No replacement is guessed: this man's real service number is simply not known, and a blank field says so honestly where another man's number did not.
14 Oct 2026: TENTATIVE CANDIDATE, NOT APPLIED. Mike Sandham OMISSIONS: 12 OCTOBER (follow-up mail) tentatively proposes this record as the fourth 12 Oct 1982 Buffel/police collision casualty, citing the same supplementary panel ("Kuhn H. Rfn 1982" -- confirmed legible on the photo) -- but flags it himself with a question mark, since this record's own stored DateDeath is 1982-03-11, seven months before the October incident, with no other corroboration. Not treated as a match; left exactly as found.
