"I had told Biscoe to take his Naval men and cut the straightest tree he could find, by no means an easy task, when practically the only trees were massasah-growing far from straight. All those present paraded at 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 13, all the land claimed by Lo Bengula as described in the Rhodes-Rudd Concession was annexed to the British Empire. Biscoe then hoisted the Union Jack." Thus it fell to Biscoe to raise the Flag on the site of Salisbury for the first time.

Tyndale-Biscoe, Naval Brigade, C Troop, Pioneer Column, in charge of the search light and apparatus used to instil awe and wonder into the Matabele.

ABOUT FACE is the extraordinary story of the life of one of America's most unique fighting men. On June 27, 1971, David Hackworth became the US Army's most outspoken critic, denouncing on network television the American war effort in Vietnam as tragically misguided. Hackworth says in About Face that he never would have believed it if someone had told him he would be 'checking out of the Army any way but feet first'. Hackworth's incredible life story has been a consistent bestseller for over six years in the US. It is a remarkable account of a man whose unmatched battlefield achievements have made him a living legend. But the medals and accolades did not counter his growing disillusionment with the Vietnam War, which he came to see as immoral and unwinnable. Finally, ABOUT FACE is a stunning indictment, not just of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict, but of the bureaucracy and self-interest that fueled that lost war.  

Springboks, Troepies and Cadres tells the story of the SA army in telling the stories of the men who shaped it. A divergent group of soldiers, from general officers to ordinary foot soldiers, tells of the tragedies and triumphs of the battles they took part in. Their first-hand accounts vividly bring home the realities of being a soldier, while some of the officers divulge and discuss military strategy. Softcover. English. Tafelberg. 2012.

LAST HUNTER Synopsis: War is Hell... and to carry out his top secret mission, one soldier will make a deal with the Devil. Italian frightmaster Antonio Margheriti (Cannibal Apocalypse) turned to the horrors of war for this explosive action film set near the end of the Vietnam conflict. Following the grisly suicide of his shellshocked friend, Captain Harry Morris (David Warbeck, The Beyond) accepts one final mission: to go behind enemy lines and destroy a Viet Cong radio tower broadcasting anti-American propaganda to US troops. Aided by a ragtag squadron of commandos and shadowed by a beautiful photojournalist (Tisa Farrow, Zombie), Morris carries out his search and destroy mission with extreme prejudice, straight into the heart of darkness. Made in the wake of the success of The Deer Hunter and shot on Philippine locations left over from Apocalypse Now, The Last Hunter is an over-the-top example of Italian exploitation filmmaking at its most shameless... and unforgettable.    Starring: David Warbeck Tony King   Category: War    Age Restriction: 16 LV
