Lieutenant General G.P Walls G.L.M.; D.C.D.; M.B.E.

It is with great sadness that we announce that Peter Walls, former Rhodesian Commander of Combined Operations, died of a heart attack on the 20th July 2010 in George, South Africa. All Rhodesians everywhere will honour his memory. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Keep an eye on our notice board, now updated monthly.
We are developing an annual calendar of events (all Associations).
