Ratel

Platoon 13, Oscar Company, 1st South African Infantry Bn

This photo was taken during basic training in 1SAI Bn. in March 1988. That's me on the far right, throwing the photographer (our Corporal) a toffee. The Big guy on the left was a real animal and very useful to have around when the going got tough.
'Throwing a toffee' = showing the bird (so the Continental types can understand!

Aaah, kooie-kamp in Tempe, the skiet-wal at De Brug, - its all coming back to me! Even the legend of the Tempe-Tigers....

Good sentimental picture, Ratel.
