My Dad served in the 6th S A Armoured Division in Egypt and Italy, fighting against the heroes of the mob who conscripted me in 1964 (1SSB, A Sqn 2 Armoured Car, PAG). Do any of your members remember that splendid day on the De Brug range in the mid to late 60s when we staged a rather impressive mutiny during a 3 week camp which prompted the intervention of armed military police? If so then please get in touch.
