Whilst reading up on Maj.-Gen Poole I read that the 6th SA Armoured Division had a parade on the racetrack at Monza. MAJOR-GENERAL W H EVERED POOLE - South African Military History Society Found a couple of photos but would like to see more. Small Wars in Southern Africa: Reference Gallery: Saffas in Italy, '44 © SANDF Archive/SANMMH: SSB Guard of Honour, Victory Parade, Monza 1945 File:6 SA Arm Div Monza Parade.jpg - Wikimedia Commons The M10s in the 1945 photo are going the wrong way

Hattersley, M.A. Printed by Gale & Polden Ltd 1950.They only did a Limited Edition of 1,000 copies. This one is No 504.12 South African Motorised Brigade. The following is most interesting indeed. I have never read anything like it..13 South African Motorised Brigade. [NMR] Natal Mounted Rifles. Its something i have never come across before in any Divisional, or Regimental History . "ROUGH BUT READY" An Official History of The Mounted Rifles And Its Antecedent & Associated Units. 1854-1969.. Eric Goetzsche. We need to be reading the.... A Unique Episode-The Brewing-up of a Tank and a (Happy Sequel)... Pages 306, 307, & 308 that is.. Clock the relevant photos below.. Not sharpest, but they are in action... Stu. Edit..Apologies for the quality of some of the photos.
