Please help if possible. sterkte julle |

Date: Wed 27/9/06 8:46PM From: Brice Email: bricerobinson@yahoo.com Message: How can we ever forget? I saw the best and worst of humanity. Too bad many of the Afrikaaners were still fighting the Boer War, and hated us Engelsmanne, so I left and came to the USA, and made my life here in Florida. Post traumatic stress is real.... I live it everyday! I miss ZA, and my close friends from those days. |

Haven't found a lot on the net until now so will be using your site as a reference. Will add a blog entry from my diaries of those times and post it here. Would love to hear from other "8SAI'ers" from that time and get photos from those who have them: Riemvasmaak, Upington etc... |

Date: Tue 11/10/06 3:22PM From: Julian Email: juliandegoede@yahoo.com Message: Brilliant site, I never did service but really wanted to but by the time I was finished school things had changed so much it wouldn`t have been worth while. It seems as though we have lost a piece of our souls with the service gone. I think the future that remains looks bleak however our strenght held us together before. |
