The military memories of an ex conscript in the old South African Defence Force

PHOTO MEMORIES. Page 1

These photographs were taken at 61 Mechanised Battalion Group in Omuthiya during 1981. I make no apologies for the quality, the photos were taken with a 110 format camera and scanned from 26 year old prints.
Additional captions, where needed are written on the jpg. Photo's open in a new window.

Notes:

Potgieter Park was erected just weeks before we left Omuthiya and was in memory of the comrades we left behind in SWA.
The captured BTR came from Ops Protea.
