South African Police in Rhodesia

[Mervyn Mitton]

This rare commemorative plaque is interesting in that it shows the involvement of the South African Police during the U.D.I. period in the old Rhodesia. In Afrikaans, it shows the two years this unit was there and from the inscription they were based at Victoria Falls. Families do not part easily with items of this recent vintage and therefore, this can be considered an unusual item - it's also twice the size of most plaques. The person to tell us more of the history of SA involvement and this police unit will be Will Endley.
