Dedication

Vito

Jy was die burgemeester van "Angola Sun". Ons super bivvie net buite Mavinga. Ek onthou ons o/kpl kurses by 2SDB - Zeerust, ons vlug na Rundu, ons "nuwe Ratels" en die opfok in die bos. Jy het ons moraal hoog gehou met jou grapgat se-goed.

En vir die wat nie daar was nie, ons het hulle seergemaak!

Rus in vrede!

Story

Maruis was a crew commander of a Ratel 90 belonging to 61Mech in Angola during Op Hooper. Trained in 2SSB Zeerust. Marius was commanding his Ratel when the command came to visgraad (take cover under trees) when enemy Migs were overhead. A branch from the tree caught the browning mounting which came loose and hit Marius in the head. Marius was a great guy, always the centre of any fun.

Story
I trained with Marius in Zeerest, he was really an exceptional character - for his team leading, and fortitude. We got separated early in training, but stayed in touch, he always maintained I was the only gunner to hit a target cleanly at 1.3 clicks - he was right.
