SGT Corrie Roux of De Wet Regiment was killed in action after an ambush just North of Osigambo in August 1979. He was the platoon SGT. We platoon of 26 troops, were on patrol and walked into an ambush about 10:00 in to the ambush. The Lt. was Mike Rossouw. Four others got wounded but not seriously. I was part of the patrol. SGT Corrie was the best SGT that I did serviced in my career as a rifleman. Nick pcp177@goggaconnect
