Myburgh , Donald (D)

16 Sep 2026, ServiceNo contamination sweep: the stored ServiceNo '17863' was CLEARED. It was not a reading of this man's record. PersonNumbers 36665 to 36667 -- 3 consecutive records -- all carried the identical number, which belongs to the record at the head of that run (36665, Myburgh, Andries Jacobus (A J)). 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: CANDIDATE 3RD/4TH CASUALTY FLAGGED, NOT MERGED. Mike Sandham OMISSIONS: 12 OCTOBER (follow-up mail, 12 Oct 2026) proposes this record as one of the two unnamed casualties of the 12 Oct 1982 Buffel/police vehicle collision at Keates Drift[sic], based on the SADF Wall of Remembrance supplementary panel naming "Myburgh D. Rfn 1982" -- confirmed independently here: the photo (John's Downloads folder) clearly shows "MYBURGH D. RFN 1982" grouped immediately with Kapp (35124) and Kleinhans. However this record's own stored DateDeath is 1982-10-13, one day after the 12 Oct incident date, and it carries no ServiceNo or further corroboration -- flagged as a strong lead, not treated as confirmed. FORCE QUESTION, as on the other three: stored as SAP "Constable...in the execution of his duty", but panel shows Army "Rfn".
