John Kettler Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Found this while trying to help rune. It's called South African Battle Honours and should be useful because it provides key information describing all the theaters and time periods where South African forces fought during World War II. Many choices! http://www.geocities.com/militaf/bh/1939.htm Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WineCape Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Got that earmarked too, thanks anyway John. Discovered it 2 weeks ago via google. The South African military museum has a bit more detailed info online. In fact, if anybody needs more SA sources, Rune and JonS (probably) is THE walking references hereabouts.

JonS Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Originally posted by WineCape: ... if anybody needs more SA sources, ... JonS (probably) is THE walking references hereabouts. Sorry no, not for SA. I have a few bits and pieces, but the only thing specific to the Yarpies is Agar-Hamiltons book on Crusader. Rune, have you had a look at the relevant British Official History (by Molony and/or Playfair)? While they understandably concentrate on British activities, they do give good coverage of the other Allies and the opposing German forces. They usually has fairly useful maps too (I see you have a topo already, but the OH will give you position of forces, units, thrusts, etc). Let me know if you don't have access to them.

rune Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yeah, I had a lot of contact with the South Africa Military Museum. They were very very helpful in my research of the SA TO&E. I rreally don't want to bother them for La Foce. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 Wanted to add that most of my South African discoveries are in rune's thread http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=001788 Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
