Rhodesian Military Photos?

[Mal3]

Since the Rhodesian Light Infantry was mentioned in another post here, I'm wondering if anyone knows of good pictures of the Rhodesian Military in action, on the web?

According to this page, they were disbanded in 1980...

No surprise there. I'm interested in pictures from the time after UDI in Rhodesia (blasted, it was in the 60s, can't remember exact year) till the country became Zimbabwe in 1981 IIRC.

Makes sense, since Rhodesia was disbanded in 1980. ;-)

Ok, my memory is probably flawed here. In 1979 it would then have become Rhodesia-Zimbabwe (or the other way around) and in '80 Zimbabwe? I thought it was in '81.

Anyway, the Rhodesian Military was amazingly proficient with the Light Infantry doing much of the infantry work. I don't think these guys lost a battle. Rhodesia didn't hesitate to do incursions into neighbouring countries to attack training camps and such staging several successful raids.

They also had a Rhodesian SAS along with the elite Selous Scouts and Grey's Scouts.

Well, I did find something. Not really pics like I was looking for but there are a couple of good ones at these two sites:

This one is interesting. Late 20th century cavalry. Imagine firing an FN-FAL from a galloping horse!

I feel sorry for that horse's head when it goes off. yeesh.

Come to think of it, I've got that camo as a skin for Rogue Spear, but with a different hat though. Really cool camo. Pity I don't have colour shots.

Of course I could just go and get a Rogue Spear screenshot ;)
