Hi Ian, Thanks for the Like. I see you are a Zimbo! It is certainly a beautiful place. It must be hard for you as an African in the often cold wet Midlands of the UK, but I would imagine easier than Scotland! When did your family go to Rhodesia and from where? Our branch came from Aberdeen in the early 20th century. Cheers, John

Hi Augusto, Re "Buried up to the differential", do you have any other comments on the circumstances behind the photo? Looks like a bunch of guys far from home caught up in a war they did not particularly want! Best wishes, John

Oi Augusto, RE "Enterrou-se até aos diferenciais", você tem outros comentários sobre as circunstâncias por trás da foto? Parece um bando de caras longe de casa pego em uma guerra que particularmente não quero! Os melhores cumprimentos, John

Oh, I forgot. A sample of hair was taken from the head and only turned up many many years later in the UK effects of someone who was there at the time. The name of "Bambata" had been spelt in reverse - Atabmab - in the containing slip of paper. When the DNA was check (presumably with that of living decendents of Bambhata in the Mpanza area)it did not prove the connection, so perhaps the Maputo (Lorenzo Marques)version of his escape was indeed correct!
