The Rhodesian Light Infantry Regimental Association held a friendly potjiekos competition.
Speaking before the walk, the shellhole’s Sergeant Major Jorge de Jesus said the walk was one way the shellhole remembered and paid tribute to those who had died.
He said that from a veteran‘s perspective, it was a way to remember all those who never returned from conflict zones.
It also allowed friends and family to pay tribute to loved ones they might have lost.
Old bill of the Dickie Fritz Shellhole, Glenn Cuthbertson, thanked the community for their turnout and support.
