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!

Message: Robbie, I think you are living in a dream world. Yes, the army was an experience, but I don't think any reasonable person wants to 'kick arse' again in southern Africa. Haven't we all had enough of that?

Message: I served in 83-84, did Ops Askari in 61 Mech, via 4 SAI and 1 SAI. A superb website, gives one a deeper insight into the whole picture. I am glad to see the memory of so many good young men is recorded for all to see their sacrifice for the greater good. God bless them all. I will never forget them.
