I don't think that the haasmanne ever new what was going on up there, young boys still could be children fighting for their country, well let me tell you men and ladies, I was proud of my country and still am, but let me assure you all it left some damages in our young minds and we still carry it with us even after all these years. It was a great moment in my life and gave me reason to live. I was a ratel driver for 61 Meg Bn and drove in the 0-pakkie group. October 1987-1988. I was in the front line, and glad that I'm still alive today. |

Anyway lekker bly to all the other troepies and slangvelle contacting this site. Vasbyt!! |
