Canada October 2010

Bill Teague Writes:-

On Saturday (16th) we had a bunch of ex Rhodesians around for lunch and a get together. You may recognise some of them?? A lot of memories and nostalgia ensued.

Allan Schrag, SAS; Bill Teague, SAAF; and Darrel Elliot. (I think a Rhodesian civilian)

The balance are all resident in Vancouver, Canada.

Thanks to Bill for making this photo and memories available to ORAFs.
