I recently finished The Bleed by John Cronin. His time as a Selous Scout fascinated me. Since then, I started reading up on that AO, era and political climate because it came slightly before my time and I had no idea about any of it; which bothered the hell out of me. As my research and fascination continues, I can't help but be amazed by the Battle of Cassinga and how it turned out for the Parabats. Salud to those fine warriors!
Found this info as I've been digging ( and want to pay respect to one of those that took these photos, Guymullins, well done, sir.):
