We notice you are very active in the van Zyl family tree. Having signed the Wikitree honour code we strive to have as much information on a person when we create a profile. Your profile infomation in terms of military service is exemplary, however the most basic information like full names, dates of birth, and location is sorely lacking.
This results in so many double profiles that will need to be merged in the future.
Could you possibly reach out to Bernard Heymann on Wikitree who is instrumental in recording van Zyl profiles accurately with as much information as possible. In this way, your valuable input will not go to waste and the service to South Africa is properly recognised. Thanks!
