Good onya Jimmy - a great account of those days and huge respect to you as a well known excellent soldier and stick leader. These interviews continue to be such a pleasure and so interesting to follow. Thank you Hannes and John for running these and setting the legacy.

Thank you so much for all these stories and insights of these brave men and our country.

Another excellent episode. Such lethal efficiency in introducing so many murderers to a 'better life', in almost overwhelming numbers.

Kings of giants...

Great Job John and looking forward to hearing more on Chimoio. Thank you

Another great interview gents !!

Another excellent episode, most insightful, well done!

Good talk

Another amazing talk. Tatenda

Thank you for the insights. Two Hartley boys. Jimmy and his brothers at school with me and John’s old man whom I remember as the padre

As always another fantastic interview. Thanks Jimmy, John and Hannes. Keep well always.

Well done John (and Wessels). This is a great interview with Jimmy Swan. He certainly retains very clear and meaningful memories of all his incredible military experiences during his service in the amazing RLI. It is so interesting to hear all their stories via a live interview! I hold all these very brave men in the highest esteem. Thanks to you we can all about their “Acts of Valour”!

Great to see you Jimmy being acknowledged for your services and putting your life on the line there will only ever be one Jimmy Swan Cheer mate!

Thank you for this guys.

Thanks Hannes and Jim !

Thanks John and Jimmy, great to get the perspective from a 2 Commando Ouen. FYI Nyadzonya was August 76 and Mapai and Dingo both in 1977 (June and November) When Jimmy asks where the other Ouens were...Support Commando were the lead Commando into Tembwe as you commented John. Can I also commend you on your excellent summary at the end regarding the professionalism of the Battalion.

Hi John. Great interview as usual. Ive seen your interview with Hannes about his hunting day. When are you going to interview him about his RLI days?

Honor, respect, and thanks to you all.

Brilliant chat
