A footslogger’s feet are as vital to him as the rifle he carries.
He cares for them both with equal devotion
Which, perhaps,
It is why
A dead soldier’s boots
Draped out of a chopper
With the toes turned out
Is the saddest sight of them all.
Information on research for a book I wrote about the experiences of a helicopter Technician/Gunner who flew operational sorties in Alouette Gunships on Fireforce during the Rhodesian Bush War. (Second Chimurenga war)

I welcome comments from everyone on my book Choppertech.
I am interested especially on hearing from former ZANLA and ZIPRA combatants who also have thier story to tell.
