Book Of Remembrance (Special Order ONLY 2-4 Days) - van Tonder, Gerry

Rhodesia Native Regiment & Rhodesian African Rifles 1916-1981. Over the years since 1980 when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, much has been written and recorded about the various regiments that served the country of Rhodesia from the early pioneers in the 1890s, right through to the day that these fine units marched off their respective parade grounds for the last time and into the august annals of history. Much of this service for the older regiments, such as the Rhodesia Regiment, the British South Africa Police, the Rhodesia Native Regiment and the Rhodesian African Ries, was as a contribution to the British Empires war efforts during the South African War, both World Wars, and other regional conflicts of the 1950s and 1960s. This Book of Remembrance has been specially compiled as a lasting tribute to the men of the Rhodesia Native Regiment (RNR) and its successor the Rhodesian African Ries (RAR) who, during the proud and honourable life of these units, made the ultimate sacrifice. It is not a denotive history of these regiments, as this has been admirably done in books such as Masodja and Ragtime Soldiers. Accordingly, the book briefly looks at the history of each of the regiments and their battalions, with pictorial depictions of uniforms, badges, theatres of operation and colours.
