Cpl Prinsloo was with our company ( B Comp 203BN SWATF) in Angola at the Cuito Mine field. The platoon was in Rattles and when the attached started they retreated ..and found out later that Cpl Prinsloo was not with them. They went back to recover him. He was killed by a shell from the Cuban BM21 rocket. I was the Officer in charge of the Helicopter pad and we gave him an present arms and send him off in the darkness of night , never to see him again. Up to this day I will never forget that moment. My deepest condolences to the family. g van der walt
