As a Rhodesian, this makes me proud...Thank you 5RR
We are very lucky to have a large number of W/South Africans now living in Western Australia. South Africa's loss, is our gain. ❤💛💚
Rhodesia learned the hard way what Europe may face soon
facing now
Thank you sir for taking the time to produce such fine and interesting content.
I am a veteran of the Vietnam conflict. I am fighting cancer now and it is much more difficult than going against an enemy I could see or smell or hear.
I can say that I had the privilege to operate in the Middle East with South African gentlemen in the Baghdad area ani have never been associated with a finer group of men. I realize these men were from a different part of Africa but many parallels can be drawn between central and South Africa.
Thank you again for taking your time sir. It is much appreciated here.
So glad that this is being documented. There's an unfortunate lack of original or copied Rhodesian manuels/documents online, or else where. Very interesting stuff. Happy New Year!
Thanks Tomkat ... and thanks to all others I have not replied directly to. May you all have a wonderful new year and take care wherever you are.
yeah you have got that right !! a UK co. OUTDOORSMAN books WALES based Brecon ?? had a copy of RHODESIAN INFANTRY INF LDRs aide memoire !? in stock and mail order sales!!!! (got mine when RAFG based RAF regt 80s !!) I was particularly lucky in that a local BELFAST city bookstore had many GALAGO publications in stock !! (SO! you can guess where my money was spent on leave !! lol ) a S.AFRICAN born GNR PETE BATE had a hdbk bk "CONTACT!" (a loan that became a present LOL )
I had dealing with a young lad who was after some RHODESIAN CAMMO uniforms gear HE HAD some FALKLANDS war communication messages printed txt etc BUT anything RHODESIAN military topics wise RARE AS.....!! older copies of SOF magazine very useful source !! a HDBK SOF compendium has gd RHODESIAN military content!!! GD LUCK with it !!
At 13:20 - "People went out of their way to do the best that they could in order that civilization might survive in that part of the world". Heartbreaking words because civilization did not survive. Even in South Africa, civilization is on it's last legs right now.
Sir, tour videos continue to intrigue, educate, and amaze me - I cannot begin to express my full appreciation !
It always pains me to know that my country failed miserably to assist you in your time of need. I am ashamed that our politicians were unable to muster common sense and understand the situation more compassionately and render appropriate aid. Had they done so, Rhodesia could have survived, and Africa and indeed the world would have been a better place. A lost opportunity indeed.
Thank you for your service.
God bless You and thank you for the memories of the RLI
The gentleman was in 5 Rhodesia Regiment (5RR), not the RLI.
Glad to see that you're still making videos!
Your videos are the kind of thing that historians love. Fascinating details! I like to think that it's preserved for the ages now that it's on CZcams.
To those who asked for this training aide to be scanned, I believe there is a copy available on pdf-archive.com or there was several years ago. Stanford University library has an original copy and some time ago you could check if there were copies available to purchase. Please note that Sgt Welland produced this as part of the training programme for the RR and not the RLI. As part of the RLI from 1975 to end 1979 I had never ever seen this until I was shown a copy by an ex Rhodie I met in Palmerston North, New Zealand aboiut 15 years ago...shit we get around but always improve the places we settle in!!!!. Nice memoirs 5RR, makes me a little homesick, although isn't there anymore😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
It does appear to be so. If one searches "Rhodesia Regiment Tactical Aide Memoire" on the public list, it does exist. I actually used "Rhodesia" to begin with and it was the top result.
someone has certainly put it out there, makes me want to take the PDF to a printing company and get them to make me one. don't know if my grandfather still has his.
Only memento I have left, served in 10RR
Southern europe experienced faith similar to poor Rhodesia. Late 1990s. Many can relate to this gentleman.
Thank you for sharing and stay safe
Absolutely fantastic.
Thankyou for this vid.
Please make more vids.
I think we’re all deeply saddened by what has become of Southern Africa.
I suppose we all feel it badly now
Yes, even South Africa - destroyed by Rampant Corruption.
A real piece of history. Thank you for showing us.
My friend, I found the information that you gave us from your pocket book most interesting and there are items in there that would be invaluable today, to walkers, hikers and the like. To think that it was produced, solely for the purpose of helping you and your comrades to be better soldiers and operate safely is a fantastic thing to do when you think that this was done purely on a voluntary basis, with others in mind. I don`t think you will get many people today, going to such lengths. You are quite right to cherish it, especially as it is the one which you carried in the field.
Oh bloody hell... Ihad the same booklets (cards), I was anti aircraft. I knew these by heart. Never forget the day a Canberra came in low, and I mean below the level of the tower (he was ground hugging) I was on in Ruacana, pulling up last minute and going over our heads on his way to the air base. I was the first to recognize the offset cockpit and know he was a friendly. Of course, by that time he was well gone and we spent the rest of the next 20 minutes or so (our battery was spread out a bit on the various towers) tracking his progress back to Ondangwa air base.
Hi there! I have a guestion for you. I saw that recognition card has Galeb/Jastreb. Have you seen any of them back in Rhodesia since Zambia had only few of Soko G-2 Galeb planes.
@@nrudnjanin Hi Nikola. Speaking purely from my own experience, the only military aircraft ever seen in the sky were own own. I never heard of foreign planes venturing near the Rhodesian border - unless it was the Royal Air Force squadron, who were eventually recalled home for being too friendly with us. Thanks for the question.
@@fiveromeoromeo5225 Thank you. Looking forward for more interesting stories.
Good stuff. Its still relevant today as a lot of this has not changed for Military leadership.
Thank you sergeant Wellington The battle continues
9:12 what a man! Please share more on that wild story.
Looks as good as the day it was issued. Thank you for the thorough review. Please make more videos - can't get enough!
Much of this Aide Memoir , is nearly identical to Australian Army of the late 60's to late 80's.
Great vid. Good info.
Wow. This is extremely good content. I'm hooked on your channel.
Love your content. From Van, Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks RR waita hako zvakanaka zvaurikuita siyabonga bae dankie ...we love these videos and the way you present
Your videos are extremely interesting and absolutely comfy. Thank you for doing this!
Thanks again. I always get a hankering for more of your videos with these long breaks haha. The personal items are super cool
Thanks Space Lord. My apologies for the long breaks. Have a fantastic 2020 and keep well.
Happy New Years! Great video to end the year on! : )
Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing your book.

Thank you.
Just in time! Glad to see more! Oh and happy new year!
Thanks Jacob ... happy new year to you too! Go well.
Thanks for the videos very appreciated
Dear Sir, I was just wondering when you would publish your next video - I have been looking forward to hearing from you, actually!
Let me start by saying that I believe you should scan that booklet and publish it online: such items should be hosted in museums, but at least having a scan of the cards would make for a very interesting piece of history available to us online.
Second, I would have to ask a favour of you: I am a student, currently researching Rhodesia and its society for my bachelor's degree. I feel like Rhodesia's is a story too often untold, and I wish to include as many historical elements as possible - interviews, tales, personal opinions of those involved. I know I'm a bit overboard, but I would like to ask you if you would like to answer a few questions and help me out. So if you want, please let me know where I can send you a message and we could keep in contact.
You are a great man, your videos are giving Rhodesia the recognition it deserves in History, and your contribution would mean the world to me.
Happy new year, I hope to hear from you soon
I would like to second the request to have the booklet scanned. There are a good number of historians, including myself that would like to read it. Great video ek se!
@@fiveromeoromeo5225 I didn't believe adding a "Thumbs Up" would be as indicative of interest as an actual reply, so I would like to my own "A scan would be amazing!" to the mix. I sometimes have downtime at work, so I would most likely make a digital version in my free time. Thank you so much for putting out your videos. History is very one-sided at times, so having your perspective is very welcome and refreshing. I look forward to every new video and story.
@@Snakepliskin76 Third on that, take it as massive interest in the material by acclamation.
Protractor? -Fire support all the way! US Field Artilleryman
Very interesting, thank you. I do hope you are keeping well, cheers!
Another great video. Well done
A very useful pocketbook for sure
Have you ever considered reproducing the RLI Aide Memoire , I am sure it would sell eg Ebay
Sir. ! another Well Presented Study Class for 'Bush Fighters'.

Africa Operations.
Great video hope to see some more soon!
Love the videos, keep it up! I’m a paramedic and found your info on combat first aid in this and other videos very interesting. In this and other videos are references to Sosogon as a painkiller. I searched it on google and found no results. Is Sosogon a Rhodesian term for the medication? Was it given by injection? Thank you for all the info, entertainment, and documentation so that Rhodesia and it’s armed forces are not forgotten!
A very good book!
very good book
Thanks once again, excellent!
Nicely Done Sir....
Very neat, we had something similar when I was a police officer
very interesting, thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for this.
Is there a PDF for this booklet?
God bless brothers
Looks very similiar to British Army stuff, Situation, Mission, Execution etc, reminds me of my JNCO cadre. Rhodesian Army must have been very similiar in terms of tradition and culture to British Army, even using the same main infantry rifle FN FAL/SLR.
Alexander, the difference with the SLR and the rifles used by Rhodesia was that they were made in South Africa and were all fully automatic.
i had one of those books , it belonged to Captain Bull , i was at school with his daughter
I wonder if the right company might be convinced to reproduce a number of these as reenactment/living history sorts of items, now that there is more interest in the war
Similar to British Army Tams, but of a more convenient size. Was there a separate comms memoir?
I still have two - one from 5RR and another similar one with a red cover from, I think, 8RR. The plastic is getting a little fragile nowadays.
nice
👍
I bet if you created a copy of this book, it would sell very well.
handy booklet
👍👍✌️
You should reproduce it I would buy it good information to have.
Has anyone screencapped these yet?
👍👍👍
I love my white afrikan brothers and sisters!
My brother shot elephants in Ovamboland
What about the pookies?
one of these books most certainly had to get into the hands of the terrorists any thoughts on that
