    XO BBHQ posted in the group Rhodesian Bush War

    In those final weeks and months, their world would be turned upside down. Among Robert Mugabe’s many crimes was a “reform” of the military, by first forcing out former Rhodesian officers with combat experience. This would be followed by the swift adoption of Eastern bloc unit nomenclature, and the Rhodesian African Rifles would be disbanded entirely by 1981. The unit had lineages dating back the the First World War, and earned their reputation through heavy casualties, and unbelievable combat valour. #RAR
