Message: Any of you guys know if there are any reunions held in the UK for ex SADF and Rhodesian Forces? There must be a lot of us floating around as they say "British born African bred". Keep putting your messages on this site and using it as everybody else has forgotten!

Message: Hi guys! Keep finding l'm drawn back to this site. Haven't been back to S.A since early 90's. I found some great film on youtube under bush war. Have a look! It takes you back! I must admit I had tears in my eyes both of joy and pain, nobody knows what we went through. Got a son serving with the british army in Afghanistan and he was shocked!
