This list was put together in 1990 at a time when most people did not even have a computer let alone the luxury of the internet. Therefore I spent many many hours visiting local library's, reading old Newspapers of the day, magazines, and 'Fire Power' a book written by Dave Thomkins and Chris Dempster that was published in 1978, not to mention speaking to several old friends. In 1993 'No Mean Soldier' by Peter McAleese was published and it contained a more up to date list that included more details of what happened to most of the people listed.
I'm not claiming to own this list and its content, its just to show visitors to this site who was in Angola at that time, and to hopefully expose many who have wrongly claimed to have been there. I do recommend that you read 'No Mean Soldier' it's well worth the experience and helps add a few more details to the Angolan story. I also recommend that you read 'Fire Power' by Dave Thomkins and Chris Dempster, this was the first book out there that gave us some idea as to what went on in Angola during 1975/76. At least everything was fresh in their minds.
