Victoria Whats your name =George Galbraith Date=20 November 2006 Your E-Mail= on request Your Location=Durban RSA How did you find our website=Search engine What unit are you from=Ex Csqn message= As Chairman of the SAS Association of Southern Africa, I would like to thank all of you who attended our recent 2006 Reunion in Durban(AGM, Memorial Service and Reunion Dinner).We really appreciate the effort and also understand that it is not practical for every member to attend and that there are many of you who would have loved to have been able to be there. Our thanks and greetings to all of you. I can tell you that the Association has never been more vibrant. If you served with us and have somehow lost contact, or know someone in these circumstances, we would really like to hear from you, so give us a call.
The Reunion, this year, was a fine affair in every respect and our drive to embrace any next of kin of our fallen, as well as that of deceased members since disbandment, is beginning to bear fruit. The Reunion was all the more poignant in that we lost our Honorary Colonel, Colonel Ken Harvey during the year. Regards and "Who Dares Wins"
