RHODESIAN ROLL OF HONOUR

 †   1965 to 1980    †

 

"The cry down the generations of 'Lest we forget' rings even more poignantly for the survivors of Rhodesia, many of whom are so far from home and whose country lives only in their memories…

In this and his other books, Prop Geldenhuys supplies not just information of where the memorials are, where names of the lost are to be found, but he has inspired others to join him in seeking out aircraft crash sites in Mozambique and solving other mysteries. The record can never be complete, but, with the aid of the indefatigable Prop, many gaps in it are filled. His consolidation of the rolls of honour, compiled from many sources is of value in itself. Certainly what he has provided will be mined by historians henceforth." Dr J.R.T. Wood

[JDPUB: 120] NEW MARITIME BOOK: Above Board and Under Cover by Capt Ivor C Little

ABOVE BOARD AND UNDER COVER A Voyage through sometimes murky waters by Capt Ivor C Little (SAN) (Rtd) R190

“Ivor Little joined the South African Nautical College “General Botha” which lead to a life at sea involving many demanding experiences. He worked hard and qualified as a Master Mariner at the age of 24 – a record at the time! By then he had virtually sailed the world and he describes in fine detail the personalities with whom he worked, the ports and cities he visited and the many ships on which he served. The book is unique if only for this characteristic.

Thereafter some years of hard work contributed to the land-based years of his professional life, unrelated to those of a Master Mariner.

All of his activities were as the book’s title indicates, “Above Board”, though some years were made very difficult being “Under Cover” in a foreign country, described in his detailed manner. Later he served the South African Defence Force during its period of transition to its new organization. He was then posted to the newly created Defence Secretariat, where he worked at top level until he decided to leave his desk.

The sea then called once more and the book takes us again on many and various vessels, from Tristan da Cunha to the Mediterranean.”

from the Foreword by Lieutenant General J R Dutton, SSAS, SD, SM, MMM.

Ivor Little’s experiences and dealings with people range from Anneline Kriel, Adriaan Vlok, Naas Botha, Chris Barnard, FW de Klerk to Defence Secretaries of Africa and Russian delegations - all the anecdotes make an interesting read! The transition from SADF to SANDF is also reflected in his experiences which vary from Training, Public Relations to Counter- Insurgency Operations.

[JDPUB: 118] NEW MILITARY BOOK: CADET CORPS MEDAL - LT COL N GILBERT

 

Just Done Productions have just published Cadet Corps Medal - Roll of Recipients by Lt Col Norman P Gilbert R55

 

NON-FICTION: MILITARY/HISTORY

 

“As time passes, dust settles on history and memories tend to fade away. This is also true with regard to one of the least known military awards of the South African Defence Force, the Cadet Corps Medal.

 

This work is intended to revive the memory of the medal itself as well as of those officers who have served their country with decorum in the cadet corps and were awarded the medal for their meritorious efforts.

 

The role of recipients is presented in alphabetical order and includes the cadet corps detachment number, including the name of the particular school to which the detachment belonged, after the recipients name and rank. The year awarded represents the year in which the award of the medal was promulgated in the orders of the South African Defence Force.

 

The capture of a brief moment in history provides a foundation to build the future with pride. Thus ‘we shall remember.’” Lt Col Norman P Gilbert
