Committee Member Johan van den Berg thanked our guest for a presentation enjoyed by all. We wish them good luck for the future. This is an essential reference book, compiled and written by the late Maj Darrell Hall and edited by Fransjohan Pretorius and Gilbert Torlage. Details can be obtained from John Mahncke.
