Sorry to hear this.

Enjoyed his book.

RIP

 

[Red Leg]

One of the most celebrated light infantrymen and member of the Selous Scouts. His book, "The Bush War in Rhodesia," ranks with "Pamwe Chete" as one of the two of the best first hand accounts of the war. One of the last of the truly "hard men."

And yet another .....

Sorry if I'm becoming repetitive but

These folk can't go without some acknowledgement for past deeds

I know some here, because of their association with Africa, and/or their military background will appreciate such endeavours and such loss

Sad loss of a true hero. May he R.I.P. and may peace be with all those he served with and those serving.
