    They trawled our Regiment for lads who wanted to go into the Rhodesian SAS at the time, and I know a few went when the carrot was dangled, lots of extra money, however, they all came home after a year or so and rejoined, as they were totally disillusioned with the way the whole Army was being run and their incompetancy in putting down the rebels............................An interesting war indeed!!

    They made runs past us as well looking for Diggers with Vietnam service.
