Badges and Insignia of the South African Native Military Corps - World War 2

Hi Will,
That is fantastic. Could we perhaps liaise with a view to using pictures of some of your material, which I would put together in the form of a DVD for display on a large screen, for a presentation I would make to our Society in February 2012 in the week before our visit to Hollybrook Cemetery.

You will recall I mentioned the wreath laying to you a few months ago, and you kindly supplied me with a translation into Afrikaans of the inscription we will put in the centre of the wreath. Something my few words of the language was unable to cope with, and I am much obliged to you as I feel very strongly about the fact those South African soldiers constitute the bulk of the names on that memorial, and are not specifically remembered.

At the request of a German family we will, on 1 November this year put flowers on the grave of German flyer from WW2, then on 21 February 2012 it will be the South Africans.

I will pm you my email address.

Kind regardss,

John
