Paul and John...what stunning teamwork...thank you for that fantastic response! I think it is wonderful that you have pinned him down to date, rank, battalion and regiment! Any ideas where I might find out more info about this battalion during this period please?

At the end of the album, opposite the Viljoen photo, time for a nature shot!!

I hope you've enjoyed.

A spelling error - should have been Viljoen!

Hello All

It was difficult to scan the photos to get them to look like they really are, but hopefully, following a bit of adjustment by myself, they are clear enough. Please let me know if you want me to enlarge any of them. The album is just over 5" wide, and the photos 3" wide. It is my grandfather's album, who I will do a profile on at a later stage. If you can shed any light on any of the places, etc. please do!

Thanks

Alex

Thank you for reading...I hope this hasn't been too long winded!
