Notes
***Note from Alistair Johnstone - Was going to swap my trip to Dett with P/O Gillies as a friend of mine was on the patrol he was in. I decided at the last minute I did not want to swap as they were going to Nkai which was a rotten area. ref. "Rhodesian Roll of Honour" by P. Geldenhuys (Roll compiled by Dr. J. R. T. Wood). Amendments from "Rhodesian Combined Forces Roll of Honour 1966-1981", by Adrian Haggett and Gerry van Tonder.
