32507Sergeant Michiel George Pienaar, 82220401BT, Att to School of Artillery (Pretoria Regiment), aged 22.Died in Freak Accident, was the commander of an Olifant tank when a tree crushed him in his commander's hatch. Pienaar's tank (call sign 13B) struck a tree of approximately 750 cm in diameter. Due to the soft ground and various veld fires in the past, the tree toppled onto the tank, crushing Pienaar in his hatch. He was still alive, but severely injured at that time. The squadron's tiffies were called upon and tried to lift the tree from the tank with a hydraulic crane. Unfortunately the tree was too heavy for the crane and it crushed Sgt. Pienaar again which caused his death.
We will remember them.
