The Celebrations
MOTH, Legionnaires and members of Amatola Commando met on Saturday 27 February 2021 to celebrate the centenary of World War 2 veteran, MOTH and former RSM Amatola Commando, Butler van de Vyver (born 26/02/1921).
A guard of honour was formed and Happy birthday was piped by members of East London Caledonian Society Pipe Band. East London District Old Bill, Ray Glover, congratulated Butler on reaching this milestone and Gonubie Shellhole Old Bill, Dennis Call, presented a commemorative tin hat.
Lt-Col Malcolm Cock presented Butler with the Day’s Orders and requested all present to sign.
At 1100 a helicopter hovered just above ground level in salute, ascended in tribute to those called to higher service, and descended in farewell before flying away.
The formalities concluded with the piping of the national anthem.
