Fighting Men of Rhodesia ep151 | Sgt Calum Mackenzie | Part 2 

Glad you enjoyed it

@@fightingmenofrhodesia Thank you John. Hannes & Tony. I have read your books years ago & appreciate what you did & went through as young men ( with no choice! ) ❤️

Thanks Jenni 😍😍

Tony that was only one of the atrocities that the CTs dished out to the local populace that l witnessed. I really felt for the locals as they were between a rock and a hard place when it came to supporting us or the CTs. Of course if they gave us int then they would be considered to be "sell outs" & after a kangaroo court in front of the whole village (kraal) they would be dispatched with a bullet or severely beaten up. In the whole 8 years of the war l never touched a local. Saw no point in interegating them. I would leave that to SB

Thank you very much!

Thank you Greg. I think my 3 talks only covered about 1/3rd of what happened to me. Unfortunately memories came flooding back & l would forget what l was going to talk about. Flitted over things that actually l meant to speak in depth about

@calummackenzie1797 ya, I know what u mean about one's memory! At 55 mine isn't the best

Pleasure boet!

Hell Hudson, no rest for the wicked 😂 l know that Gavin Mawdesley was an underground surveyor for ACM in Mtorashanga. & after that camp all his call ups were surveying PV perimeter fences

@@calummackenzie1797 Thanks for the interview, Callum. 5RR by 1979 had changed dramatically, every call up, met guys at pre deployment battle camps that I had never seen or worked with. That was quite scary. I then fortunately moved to Training Troupe with Captain Bob Lines, ex SAS (UK) and Rhodesia. 6 weeks intensive courses at Inkomo

@@calummackenzie1797 I knew Calum

at last! A true man has made a comment!! Thank you! Can I hire you to come convince my wife lol!! 😝😝

He is still in harare

@@mikenorton3294 yup I am one of his patients.

Hey, cheers boet! Still trying to convince the wife lol

Yes, we are limited by the equipment the other guy has on his side...

Try remembering what it was like on radio watch on the TR48 and and deciphering Shackle with deafening interference. Then this recording seems pretty bloody good.

Chris listen to my next talk re TR48 etc

If a recording is bad try reducing the bass it often helps.
