Snyggt taget! Visst är det Grey's Scouts, beridet infanteri som bevakade gränsen, ängslighet lär inte ha varit ett utmärkande drag. Sannolikt ett av de sista beridna förbanden som satts upp? Salisbury som sedan blev Harare. Ja, ett mycket spännande ämne, Recces i RSA vill jag minnas hade ett lejon som maskot.
Den här tavlan föreställande Grey's Scouts är riktigt läcker:

Tråden vidare till dig med kopia av tavlan i guldram att hänga på kontoret!
Man tackar! Riktig läcker ja
Ja, de bör nog ha varit en av de sista. Tama Teddy the lion är rätt kul, finns en del historier om honom
” One night, one of the Operators was tasked to give Teddy some food, as he was occasionally fed while at Fort Doppies. This particular Operator did not appreciate being tasked to do this job in his free time and was quite annoyed. Taking the meat for Teddy, he went to look for him and found him not far outside the front gate of Fort Doppies.
It appeared to the Operator that Teddy was in an uncharacteristically bad mood, as he growled at the Operator and made striking movements with his front paws. Teddy also didn’t look in good shape. The Operator was also not in a good mood at having been tasked to feed Teddy and this unusual and annoying behaviour towards him by the lion further annoyed him.
The Operator therefore unceremoniously threw the meat towards Teddy instead of taking it right up to him and stood there shouting at the lion for a few minutes. He then went back into Fort Doppies and walked into the pub – where he saw Teddy sitting at the feet of the other Operators.
The Operator had found, fed and shouted at a wild lion!”
Återkommer så fort jsg kommit på en ny fråga!

Namnet Vegesack förpliktigar ju i martialiska sammanhang men jag gissar att det var en utmärkelse som ändå fick äldre släktingar att muttra att det det blev ju folk av honom också.
