Acknowledgements

I would like to acknowledge Regimental Sergeant-Major Piet Nortje for insisting that I write and document my account of the Battle of Savate for historic reasons. It was this that encouraged me to write about the rest of my time with 32 Battalion.

I would also like to thank Judy, the kindest, sweetest, gentlest soul, for giving me the encouragement and space to write this story.
