Default Thank you for this pic, Hanno

It has been ages since I have checked in with the MLU crew, and I was pleased to find this pic. You are right that photos of 6th SAAD troops are right ojn the ground. When I was in Siena in 2001 the city was mounting an exhibition regarding the liberation of the city. In the city musuem, I purchased a photo collection which contains some photos of 6SAAD troops, including some rolling equipment.

I also spent some time in Assisi. One chilly morning I walked down the hill to the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery. There are a number of Springboks buried there. There was much to contemplate there. I have a photo of three gravestones hanging in my homeroom.
