G'day my g's, I've been trying to find some info on my dad for a while but i never know where to look, he fought against Nelson Mandela during the apartheid. (pretty sure he was conscripted) he was shot but survived and got to leave early. I was just trying to find photos or documents of him from the South African army. Anyone got an idea of where i can start looking?
