Husband of Mrs. M. de Villiers, of General Kritzinger Court, Wynberg Military Base, Cape Town.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("OSC School") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 28 Sep 2026: "72500663PE Staff Sergeant Derrick Leon de Villiers from the Ordnance Service Corps suffered a heart attack and died later in 2 Military Hospital. He was 35." Confirms the record exactly.
- CORPS FILLED IN: this record carried no Corps (Unit only, OSC School); set to South African Ordnance Services Corps, this roll's existing form of the name Graham gives.
Mike Sandham (SAWGP) omissions email, 28 Sep 2026: "72500663PE Staff Sergeant Derrick Leon de Villiers from OSC School, South African Army Died of heart attack, at 2 Mil Hospital. He was 35." Confirms this record in full.
