South African servicemen recognised in war photographs...

摘要

'My latest journal arrived a few days after our August meeting, before which our vet asked me about my being on the SAMHS tour of Egypt and Libya in May, with 25 other South Africans. Following his mother's death a few days before, he wanted me torntake all his father's books on the Second World War to the Military History Society, which I duly did, raising some funds for our branch. When I spotted the Sidi Rezegh article ['Sidi Rezegh - Reminiscences of the late Gunner Cyril Herbert Glass, 143458, 3rd Field Regiment (Transvaal Horse Artillery)'] in the latest Military History Journal, I copied it for our vet, whose father I knew had also been in the Third Field Regiment (Transvaal Horse Artillery) and had escaped capture until Italy. Steve was excited when he phoned to say he was sure his father was in the last photo.
