Excellent Interview
Anger became a daily emotion, still with me
Many thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I do hope & can’t wait for Part 3 🤞Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
@@fightingmenofrhodesia Thank you John. Hannes & Tony. I have read your books years ago & appreciate what you did & went through as young men ( with no choice! ) ❤️
Excellent Interview Tony.
Thanks Jenni 😍😍
Raw interview gentlemen, spine chilling recaps of operations and the collateral damage inflicted. Amazed by the Ct's attitude towards fellow countrymen!! Thank you both for your talk!
Tony that was only one of the atrocities that the CTs dished out to the local populace that l witnessed. I really felt for the locals as they were between a rock and a hard place when it came to supporting us or the CTs. Of course if they gave us int then they would be considered to be "sell outs" & after a kangaroo court in front of the whole village (kraal) they would be dispatched with a bullet or severely beaten up. In the whole 8 years of the war l never touched a local. Saw no point in interegating them. I would leave that to SB
Always excellent Tony 🙏 thanks again guys 👊
Excellent video!!!
Thank you very much!
Another really great interview callum
Thank you Greg. I think my 3 talks only covered about 1/3rd of what happened to me. Unfortunately memories came flooding back & l would forget what l was going to talk about. Flitted over things that actually l meant to speak in depth about
@calummackenzie1797 ya, I know what u mean about one's memory! At 55 mine isn't the best
I meant to say when Andre Rabe was killed that it was CJ (& not Andre) that was down in the riverbed tracking & it was one of the flankers who were up on the banks of the dry river who shot Andre. Also at Hot Springs l was leading in 6 sticks of 5 Indep Co to their OP positions along an escarpment & the following morning a sweep line of troops would sweep towards the escarpment hopefully to generate movement of terrs which we would spot from our OPs
Shuwa.. One Hell of a fine one and a quarter hour interview..
Fantastic. Thank you Sir's..
Pleasure boet!
The beard suits you Tony.
at last! A true man has made a comment!! Thank you! Can I hire you to come convince my wife lol!! 😝😝
In my 3rd talk l corrected the fact that we went through Penalonga to get to Stapleford Forest & not Melsetter. Melsetter is miles away from the Honde Valley & Stapleford Forest. Doing a Joe Biden
I did surveys for keeps as well in between call ups
Hell Hudson, no rest for the wicked 😂 l know that Gavin Mawdesley was an underground surveyor for ACM in Mtorashanga. & after that camp all his call ups were surveying PV perimeter fences
@@calummackenzie1797 Thanks for the interview, Callum. 5RR by 1979 had changed dramatically, every call up, met guys at pre deployment battle camps that I had never seen or worked with. That was quite scary. I then fortunately moved to Training Troupe with Captain Bob Lines, ex SAS (UK) and Rhodesia. 6 weeks intensive courses at Inkomo
@@calummackenzie1797 I knew Calum
🍻
Did anyone come across Physiotherapist Didier Smeets, who came to Tsanga Lodge to help wounded troops ?
He is still in harare
@@mikenorton3294 yup I am one of his patients.
Tony your beard suits you
Hey, cheers boet! Still trying to convince the wife lol
Terrible audio
Yes, we are limited by the equipment the other guy has on his side...
Try remembering what it was like on radio watch on the TR48 and and deciphering Shackle with deafening interference. Then this recording seems pretty bloody good.
Chris listen to my next talk re TR48 etc
If a recording is bad try reducing the bass it often helps.
