Hey John My friend Matthys Phillipus Fourie was killed on the border on 16/11/1976 his date of birth was 25/4/1958 He was buried with full military honours and his grave site is in Silverton Pretoria grave no 890. He was buried out of the New Apostolic church in Pretoria rd Silverton. As a matter of interest he is not mentioned on any site or book of the angolan war and his name does not appear on the monument at fort klapperkop with those that died whilst doing active duty? Could you shed some light on this?? Kind regards Reuben Coskey Reuben Coskey
