Roll of Honour for a Rhodesian SAS Regiment including 41 names. Quote from site: "The formation of the SAS goes back to November 1959 when it was decided in the Federal Assembly to form a Parachute Evaluation Detachment to examine the practicalities of military parachuting and parachute training in the Federation of the Rhodesias and Nyasaland, with a view to the possible formation of an airborne unit. This was announced by the then Federal Minister of Defence, Mr Caldicott - but it was always thought by us junior soldiers, or should I say, we were led to believe, that Sir Roy Welensky was behind the reforming of what was to become the SAS."
