“THE SCARS OF WAR”
This page is especially dedicated for the physical and emotional stories of the forgotten soldiers, the lonely traumatized ones
- as well as the -
fathers and mothers, wives and children who lost their
loved ones in the fulfillment of their duties
“We salute you”
“To stand beside a Soldier and walk through his pain
will humble a civilian, no longer to complain
Love, patience, trust and hope is what a Soldier needs
to get them through some very treacherous deeds
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
our support for them we should never deny”

Ja, dis met heimwee wat ek terugdink aan Junie 1988 aan ons groot verlies met die Mig strike by Calueqe noord van Ruacana waar ek 8 van my troepe(oa die pl bev en pl sers) verloor het. Die wat dit sal onthou, dit was 'n peloton van 8 SAI Upington wat saam met 'n pantserkar troep daar patrollie gedoen het, toe die kubane ons gebombardeer het |

I have lost all contact with buddies who faught in the 88 Hooper and Packer but the rememberance of a group of "elite" soldiers as seen through my eyes, is still as fresh as the days we were in combat. Being in Australia now a regular reminder of what we faught for comes to light. To be able to take on so many Terro's with some b |

Walking back from the main gate guardroom at Ondangs AFB I saw 4 male PB's ( plaasbefolken ) locked up. One gestured to me with his hands that he was hungry, but I gnored him, fuck them they just SWAPO. Several hot days later I noticed them still there, the blokes would walk past shouting and banging on the tin roof creatin |

I was fortunate enough not to have lost any of my troops during my initial 2 years National Service, but I did lose one man during my last border camp. I was then with 1st Battalion Transvaal Scottish. We were based in Ondangwa, and my platoon & I were responsible for base protection - seeing as we were the mortarists. We regularly undertook |
