THE RHODESIAN FORCES WEB SITE
All military units, 1967 - 1980
The Rhodesia Army Association, own and run this web site on behalf of all military units that were operational in Rhodesia from 1967 to 1980.
An annual Remembrance Day service is held in memory of all Rhodesians who laid down their lives in the service of our country Rhodesia, on Remembrance Sunday in November. This service is held in the Field of Remembrance at St Margaret's Church, Westminster Abbey, London commencing at 10:30 hours. All ex-Rhodesians are invited to attend.
Our time is now a long time ago, and the material on this web site is used for research by descendents of many of our members.
To that end it would be useful if all of you would find your Unit's pages here, and see if you have anything useful to add. In particular,
we need course photographs, particularly with names, and Roll of Honour Information. Unit dates of formation and dissolution are also needed.
Do not send original photographs by post. All material may be sent to the Web Master. Please compress photos scans before sending, to an
800 pixels wide image, if you know how. They are also better sent uncompressed than not at all.
Keep an eye on our notice board, now updated monthly.
Use the menu on the left to find a particular service.
