 ORIGINAL cap badge with lugs intact.Very rare badge The South African Aviation Corps was formally gazetted as part of the U.D.F. in Government Notice No 130 dated 29 January 1915 and published in the Government Gazette of 5 February 1915. The ground staff for the GSWA campaign had been recruited in South Africa. Workshops, two steel hangers and an aerodrome had been built at Walvis Bay. The unit was commanded by Major G.P. Wallace and it consisted of 17 officers and 150 men. They were supplied with steel-framed Henri Farman aircraft. Three flying officers had been attached from the Royal Naval Air Service and two BE2C aircraft had accompanied them. Air operations commenced from 6 May 1915 and the Farmans were initially used for reconnaissance tasks. They were later also used as bombers with fitted racks. They first saw action at Karabib and operations later moved to Omaruru, Kalkveld, Otavi and Otjiwarongo. When the unit had to move northwards, advance working groups were required to prepare landing grounds in the thick bush that was found in the Northern areas of operations. After the German surrender in GSWA on 9 July 1915, personnel were placed at the disposal of the Royal Flying Corps. LOCAL BUYER R110 POSTNET OT FEDEX OVERSEAS BIDDER DHL R480 OR SAPO(RISKY)R220

Reconnaissance Regiment beret badge (Bullion wire type). VERY SCARCE. Difficult to find.......... Original. Bullion wire on maroon felt. This specific badge type is the UK manufactured badge that was supplied to SA Special Forces members. These badges were once-off issue. This specific badge type is the real thing and the only type that was "officially" supplied to the regiments. All other pre 1993 bullion wire types were privately made up by individuals. However, genuine bullion wire badge will slightly differ in stitch, because each badge were separately hand-stitched. But at the end, they will all have the same overall look.

 The Black Beret: Beginnings to the Invasion of Madagascar 1942 Volume 1 - William Steenkamp -   Publisher: Helion and Company Publication Date: 2016 Hard cocer  with dust cover as new. Volume 1 of "The Black Beret" starts with the early history of South Africa and ends with the invasion of Madagascar by the South African Forces during WWII. This volume covers topics such as how armor came to the battlefield, the use of horses vs armored car in German South West Africa in 1915, the first steps to mechanization, the birth of the Tank Corps, and the deployment into East Africa through Abyssinia to Addis Abba during the early years of WWII. We next experience the reverses and victories of the desert campaign with the 4th Armored Car Company amongst others, fighting alongside the Desert Rats, Operation Crusader, the disaster at Tobruk, through the Gazala gallop and on to the victory at El Alamein. We meet the newly reconstituted SA Armored Corps training at Khatadba in Egypt for deployment in the Italian campaign with the famous South African 6th Armored Division, and we ride with the armor element that takes part in the invasion of Madagascar. The development of the various marks of South African armored reconnaissance cars are touched upon but will be discussed in more detail in a later volume. This is an important and overlooked story, one told by Willem Steenkamp in a rich and unique style, and drawing on a significant number of sources, ably supported by many photographs and maps.
