Military Badge of The Essex Regiment in Bi-Colour. Good condition. They were in active service from 1881 to 1958  

Large hardcover coffee-table book, copy number 1114, 774 pages, profusely illustrated, as new   The Fourth Dimension – the untold story of military health in South Africa is a magisterial study of the subject just published by the South African Military Health Service. A weighty tome of just less than 800 pages, it is the most comprehensive study of military health ever attempted in South Africa. As such it records matters military medical reaching back to the turn of the 20th Century, with a look at the health support available to forces then engaged on both sides of the Anglo Boer War. Detailed and richly illustrated with what must be very rare photographs – the reviewer confesses to not having seen most – the story moves via the World Wars and Korea to the modern era. Captured also is the post-war growth of the health component of the SA Defence Force from a branch of the SA Army – the South African Medical Corps – to a fully fledged fourth service and its role in the Namibian-Angolan border war of 1966-1989. A full section – with reminiscences – are included regarding the medical services of the Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei medical services before their integration into the South African National Defence Force in April 1994. Given extensive treatment is the health services of the African National Congress and Pan Africanist Congress of Azania while in exile. Again, this is unique, readable material not published before. Also recorded for the first time is the struggle against apartheid in the health environment inside South Africa from the 1960s to 1994 – the medical side of the mass democratic movement. Also covered is white resistance to conscription (the End Conscription Campaign), the United Democratic Front and state reaction.  The last three chapters deal with the integration of various antagonistic factions into a new SANDF - and for health professionals, a new SA Medical Service, later renamed the SAMHS; the deployment of this new service onto the regional and international stage; and finally a bold look into the future.  Military health has here been given a comprehensive, fair and balanced treatment with substantial volumes of new information added to the narrative. “The Fourth Dimension – the untold story of military health in South Africa” sets a high standard and one hopes the other services and divisions of the SANDF, if not the organisation itself, will follow suit.  The Fourth Dimension – the untold story of military health in South Africa Col Ricky Naidoo (Editor-in-Chief) South African Military Health Service Department of Defence Pretoria

    WWII SPECIAL SERVICE BATTALION TITLE BADGE The Special Service Battalion (SSB) is a South African military unit formed on 1 May 1933 under the patronage of Oswald Pirow, Minister of Defence. The object was to give training to youths, between the ages of 17 and 23, who, in the wake of the 1929 depression, could find no suitable employment on leaving school.   History Lt Col George E Brink was given the responsibility for establishing the battalion at Roberts Heights and was the first commanding officer. The SSB was established to save the youth from physical and moral degeneration caused by massive unemployment due to the Great Depression. The SSB was to teach the young men military discipline, fitness and various trades to enable them to be employed by the Department of Labour and Welfare. The SSB men received a salary of a shilling a day causing the SSB soon to be known as the "Bob a Day Battalion".  In 1934 detachments were also established for 100 trainees at Durban and 150 at Cape Town. Training included elementary military subjects and physical training. After a year of the young men usually found employment in government departments or with civilian employers. By 1936 the output of the SSB totalled about 2000 youths a year. In 1937 the South African Railways established at Roberts Heights a special school to prepare boys for the railways. In 1937 3788 youths passed through the ranks of the SSB. A total of 882 of them joined the Permanent Force.  With the expansion of the South African Air Force in 1937 the SSB provided 248 air apprentices for special training but, with the improvement in the economic situation, the waiting list to join the battalion had dwindled to almost nil.  With the outbreak of war in September 1939, members of the SSB were posted to units requiring immediate reinforcement to get on to a wartime basis. An example of this being the Coastal Artillery. In February 1940 a number of troops were transferred to the 1st and 2nd Field Force Battalions. These served with distinction in East Africa, Abyssinia and the Middle East as part of 1st South African Division.  SADF era 1 SSB Commemorative Letter In August 1941 all members of the SSB below the age of 18 were transferred to the Youth Training Brigade. The remainder formed an infantry battalion, which was converted to an armoured car commando in 1942.  In February 1943 the SSB, under Lt Col EG ('Papa') Brits, became part of the 11th SA Armoured Brigade. In March 1943 the Field Force Battalion was disbanded and other ranks and some of the officers were transferred to the SSB, thus providing a nucleus of battle-tested veterans.  The unit sailed for the Middle East with the 6th SA Armoured Division in April 1943. In 1944 the division crossed the Mediterranean Sea to take part in the Italian campaign. The regiment played a prominent part in numerous actions during the campaign.  In 1946, SSB was resuscitated as a Permanent Force unit and reorganised on a two-battalion basis with the 1st Battalion as an armoured unit and the 2nd Battalion infantry. The former became a training regiment in 1953 and the latter was renamed the 1 South African Infantry Battalion (1SAI) in 1951.   CONDITION:  Very Good. Lugs in tact. UNCLEANED.
