CAN U HELP?
I'm a former member of the South African Air Force
(1980s), currently
doing research for a book on women who served in the South African
military anytime from 1912 to the present. This includes all the
services - Air Force, Army, Navy, Medical Services, as well as the
volunteer/support organisations such as the Southern Cross Fund, Guild
of Loyal Women, Ride Safe, etc... The book will cover the history of
women's military service and include personal stories and memories.
I'm looking for names, stories, photographs or anything else that can
help with my research. This is a long-term project.
I would also like to obtain any old issues of Home Front magazine, so
if anyone has some that are no longer needed - I can give them a good
home.
Thank you,
