Military Service – Incident 1
1975 : All white Rhodesian males were required to serve their country through a year’s National conscript. Because I had joined Customs and Excise straight after school, I was exempt for a number of years but the draft eventually caught up with me and in 1975 I ended up in the Rhodesian Territorial Army. After 3 months initial training we were deployed as a unit and it was during this 9 month period that I had 2 narrow escapes. The first was on the way to Base camp. Travellin
