August 198B
THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETI&
Perhaps it is pertinent that ratter than la~ an editorial for thisedition we have a report on the Annual Wri. ral Meetirg which was
held cn 20th. May. For the stat ist ice! ly minded 33 members
at terded.As is custcmary the meeting axeenced with ~improving the minutes ofthe previous A G M. The Chairman opene& his report by askingmembers to stand in silent tribute to those i;embers who had answered
the final roll call during the past year - Bill (R J V) Bailey, Ken
Flcwer, George Ashwin, Bennie Baxter, Les Vernon, John K loggers,Rcwland Goddard, 8 F Stubbs, Bi11 Heck' ~, Cyr i 1 Gi les, Buddy
Milan, John Payne, Percy Foskett, Henry Jb.nstcn, (Douglas) Cordy
Hedge, Bob Kennedy, Margaret Chisholm, (.ter Muller and Anne
Scholium (nee le Seur).He brought greetings from his predecessor ~, Chairman, Col. Harold
Jackson who had been del ighted to 1ea rn of the whereabouts ofCharles RicHell and had written to him. '(e had knub him as a
dedicated policeman. Percy Barnes who was present at the meeting
expressed similar sentimnts ~ Charles and undertook to write tohim.As far as the BSAP Trust was concerned, tte Chairman expressed histhanks to those members who had cov ..rented thei r annual
~ripticns to the Trust, and was hearten 4 by the many who had
covenanted a larger sum than their subscrioticns. So far minorassistance had been given in two cases, but he felt the need would
i rerease and hcped that al 1 who cculd, w» ld 'do thei r bi t ' toestablish a substantial trust. He cited tte case of a member who
had retired to another country but owing to the declining exchangerate reducing the value of his pension and such other funds as hecrxjld obtain from Zimbabwe, the pensioner, nw in the evening of hislife, was beset by poverty. Regrettably, ).". said, this was mt anisolated case.
Crodent irq on the Outpost, t te Chai men repor ted that over 470
ccpies of. each edition were distributed and expressed his thanks t
Brian E Barbara Tindale ard their children for their help i~collating and de~tchinq each editicn. He also pointed out that
in two years he was due to retire and the future printing of The
Outpost ~~ld have to te resolved as the facility available to him
would tten cease.Pt this stage the Cha&rman nede reference to the canments in the
last edition of The Outpost coreernirq t?m late Ken Flower's book&
"Serving Secretly". He stated that nore written reaction had been
qenerated on this matter than any one item so far in the ten issues
of the ~azine. This reaction had been verv varied - whether
cannent in any form s)nu)d have been made, favorable, and regret
that Keith Raw~'s cement in the Natal Outpost had been quoted.
Acknmlerk)inq the fact that he was also the Editor, the Chairman
observed that such reaction per se was encouraging in that it ~that tte magazine was read ard stated that the only criticism {and
that was a harsh word in the context) of the late Ken Flcwer in his
ca@rents was that the book had been written at all. He agreed that
per?cps quotinq from t?e Natal Outpost could be construed as bias,
although none existed as far as he was concerned. He did feel that
the varied resporee had confirmed his t)~ry that everyone
interprets what he reads fran his cd particular philoscphy on the
subje=t matter.The financial statement for 1987 was presented and approved, a copy
of which is reproduced el~here in this edition. It should be
noted that the BSAP Trust for accountinq purposes had only cane into
b inq on 1st. January 1988.Prising from last year's A G M when it had been decided that only
one third of the Cannittee should retire to provide a greater degree
of continuity, t?e Chairman advised that Mike Leach, Brian Tirdale
and he would retire by rotaticn, ~ver a preposition that theY be
re-elected into their re~~tive offices was carried unaninmsly.
All three expressed thei r preciation of the confidence shown in
them. Peter Short and Stan Bolas had intimated their desire to
starx) down and the members erA&rsed a hearty vote of thanks to them
for their services to the Asmiaticn in qeneral and this Branch in
par t icular, In order to fac i 1 i tate rotation of the Ccmnit tee
meters, t?~ Carmittee's ~st icn that they rat be replaced was
accepted, the Cannittee now crgprises 9 ~rs as appearinq on the
back paqe of this issue.
Guy Wilson encpired if the A G M cculd be i oved around to different
centres to give the cpportunity of atterditiq to a greater number of
members. The weekerd progranae of the N R P A who have their A G M
ard dinner over a weekerd at Kenilworth»s ttentioned, the dinner
being for merrbers, their ~s and frien~is, It was decided that
opinicns on these two points should be canvassed through the
Outpost. Will members please note the que. ,ticnnaire on this matter
en=losed with this edition ard respord accor lirqly.It was decided that the monthly get togetht'r should revert fortlwith
to the FIRST TUESDAY in each nanth, the venue remaining the sane at
the RUGBY CUJB. The bar opens at 5pn and closes rather late !Brian Tirdale paid tribute to the Regional Co-ordinators, the local
functicns were proving popular and further members had been found
ard many old frierdships re~.Ricky May's request that name tags be worn at the A G M to refresh
memories was erdorsed.Well that lot took cne and a quarter hours to achieve and so at
7, 20pm the members repaired to the bar to reminisce, quaff the odd
pint and enjoy scme cheese, pickles and . oils etc before wending
tteir respective ways home.

On Sunday 24th April 1988 the sun shone on 3 half 44 gallon drums
strategically placed in a certain spot from which arose the aroma ofsteak, chops, boerewors, supplemented by sadza and baked spuds. No
it was not in Rhodesia but in a small town on the borders of Surrey
ard Hanpshire, namely Haslemere in the arounds of the Haslemere
Hotel, a hostelry operated by none other than Dave Chanpion 5436.Gathering around those drums were some 60 men, ~ s children
brought together by a bOrd of conra3eship fran serving with the BSAp
true, not all were BSAP, but those who were not were family,friends and associates. Nostalgic rrerrories flooded back. Those

EWS FROM OVERSEAS
Central Branch - We acknowledge the xeceipt ofthe minutes of the A. G.M. held on 20th. May, thesame night as the A. G.M. of the U. K. Branch.Their membershi. p has decxeased by 60 members due
mainly to emigration. Messrs Bristow, Woods
Kexswell were elected to the Board of Trusteeswhilst the serving committee was re-elected enbloc, President Sid Bristow, Vice-PresidentShiner Wright and Secretary/Treasurer John(Bomber) Davidson heading the Committee. 46members attended and apologi. es were xeceivedfrom 19 members including their Newsletter prod-ucer Hugh Phillips who was recovering from aspell in hospital. We are glad to learn that hehas recovexed well as we acknowledge receipt ofNewsletter No. 21 of June 1988 which opens withan apology from Hugh for producing the Newsletterthree weeks late. Slaking his thirst duringrecovery with copious draughts of "Harare '88 DryWhite" (probably fxom the Makubusi) he wasreminded of a sentence attributed to the 17th.Century dramatist, John Fletcher - 'I find themedi. cine worse than the malady'.Hugh reports a call from Angus Ross with notesof his vi.sit to Jo'burg. Angus endeavoured tomeet up with colleagues from his CID days and ashe says 'although I only made contact with a few,the meetings, lunches, dinners and casual en-counters were long and fulfilling'. His mainsource of information was Hank Hankinson in hisJoubert Street shop 'heavy with atmostphere andloaded with memorabilia'. Paul May, now doingvery well with a mining company, joined them andthis led to contact with Dave Willis, Ray Stenner,Dave Sloman, Roy Welch and Jock Pirrett. DaveWillis has led a successful career in the miningworld down South, Dave Sloman works for a computercompany, Roy Welch has a successful privateinvestigator's business whilst Jock Pirrett hasrisen to a good position in an insurance companyas well as having his own insurance business.
7
We are told that Jock still manages his golfevery Frifday afternoon, perhaps it is due tothe modern version of "I've got my Captainworking for me now" in the guise of RayStenner whose appetite for those 'cigars' (?)(burmese cheroots I think - Ed. ) remains un-diminished. Angus concludes 'I think it mustbe some txibute to the old selection process,training and experience that these guys aredoing so well". Ray Stennex, despite allrumours is hale and hearty and has recoveredwell from his surgery.Last edition we reported the tragic death ofWP62 Margaxet (Chunky) Chisholm. Hugh reportson her funera] at Harax'e Cemetery which drew alarge numbex' of mourners including many who hadserved with her in the BSAP - Fran Fourie, UnaPhillips, Shirley Wilson, Jane Mackenzie, BettyRavenscxoft, Bernice Ferrari forming part ofthe contingent of former Women Poli. ce.
We do not think the branches in Zimbabwe issuetheir own newsletters so we will quote fromHugh's reports on their activities. Firstly,Mutare where the Branch A. G. M. was held on l4th.April resulting in the same committee going backinto office, that is Tony Gale - Chairman,Harry Went - Secretary and members - John Cookeand Messrs Kelham, Smith 8 Brent. It was notedthat P Lapage, D Raaf, J Ranby, E Birxell andJ van der Pyll had left the axea, N Monoghan hadresigned and Ginger Kirkwood, Harold DeBene andand Mrs Plastow had died. Mention was made ofJohnny Worsley at Witchwood Nursery in Mutare andBill (A. E.F. ) Bailey in Chimanimani who appearfit and well. Does Bill still run the OutwardBound School ?Secondly we go to Kadoma whexe George Yeoman paystribute to the Newsletter and writes of 'oldcomrades' in that area - 3815 Claude Edwards, aprominent farmer and golfer who now uses a smallmotor bike to 'follow his ball around the coux;se,5037 John Collier, cattle buyer for the ColdStorage Commission, Past President of the Rotary
8
+lub, a stalwart of the local theatre and now
'Worker of the Year', 8915 P Hockaday of Fairway
Service Station (just opposite the Ranch Motel),A Jenvey, manager of the local newspaper and lastbut by no means least& 2542 George himself who
claims 'he is cracking up and ready to go intothe shade'. George - Old Soldiers never die !Finally back to Harare for some more bits from
Hugh. Unfortunately due to his absence he
had to rely on a list of those attending which
had been inadvertently 'vandalised' however he
records the following as present : J Bomber
Davidson, Bob Berger, P Birkett, T Marillier,P Palmer, L Phillips, Brian Darling, M Curtis,K Stanford Smith, Nelson Graham, Gubby Allen,H J Gibson, Tony Martin, F Warner, Hank Blowers
Jack Bale, L D & A A Borra, Paddy Powell, George
Atkinson, Rod Finnigan, Laurie Gearing, Dougie
Baird, Paddy Ruttle, Jack Bacon, Bill Ellway,Keith Macdonald, T E N Carr, C Thorne, ShinerWright, Sid Bristow, D F Naude, Barry de Burgh-
Thomas, R Thompson-Holland, Derek Humberstone,
C J Looker, Taffy Morgan, Spike Hughes, DiggerDigweed, Phil Kensett and Bill May.
Lunching recently at the New Club, Hugh saw Alan
Godwin, Paddy Leen 4583 and Monty Friendship and
on another occasion saw Paddy Hogan (sorry Hugh
but he is not a '46 er according to our records)who apparently joined the Force after the war
and served for three years before going mining
where he appears to have had a successful career.
The Pensioners Golf Trophy saw Jack Hammond dem-
olish a field which included Butch Buckley, J B
Robertson, G A Roberston, John (Tacky 2) MacIntosh,Alan Godwin, Cyril Robinson, Brian Cowling and a
name unknown to Hugh a Mr Iredale. The ForceChampion was Sgt A Mandaza with a 164, not a badscore playing to a 10 handicap. The winners atthe 19th. hole were Barry Cotton, Digger Digweedand of course our President, Sid Bristow.
Natal - We also acknowledge receipt of NatalOutpost No. 26 of June 1988. The Editorexamines the vexed question of decling num-bers at functions - a most interesting art-icle which we have taken the liberty of re"producing elsewhere.Their Mailbag mentions several members whosenames might be of interest to others - BillOver who now works for a "Global New York"based company and can be contacted at Box 447Thornhill„ Ontario L3T 4A2, Trevor Wilson 5661,Peter Wilson who is trying to trace some membersof Squad 9/1958 namely John Lawrence 5913, ZanMcLean 5908, Jon Fardell, Hike Feeny, JohnHcLean) Jock Cuthbert, Jamie Openshaw 8 KeithPiper, he also seeks news of Ted Cutfield whowas their Squad Insrtructor; 7636 RussellHcDiarmid, Pete Wilde 7810 and Bill Murray8363.
An interesting article about 'Equitation'written by 'Smudge" Smith is printed andwe will take the liberty of reproducing it inthis magazine. A few memories might bestirred !
Eastern Cape - We also acknowledge receipt ofthe April 1988 edition of their magazine.The first item is for members to pay uptheir subs - R15. As a fund raising gestureTheo van der Watt is attempting to form a'50'Club with monthly donations of R5-00 perperson, with monthly draws for three prizes.Let us know how it goes Theo please. Their1988 Committee is Brian OberholsterChairman, Theo - Secretary, Rich SpargoSecretary and members Hike Horner, TrevorCompton, Chris McCanliss, Des King, SheilaGault and Dereck Bothwell. Would we be rightin hailing the first lady committee member 7
Again the matter of limited support for thevarious functions and the apparent reluctanceof some members to pay their subs is discussed.

I had dug out a number of squad phc ographs, team and mess
photographs, and memories came floodin; back durinq the
morning session.
As you are aware I was instructing n depot from 1948
1971 prior to moving to Troutbeck Inn ~. Inyanga and then to the
Greys Scouts (The Donkey Wallapens) in 976 - 1977 and then my
final years 1n Rhodesia as Hayor' s "Hai . " durinq the hand over
take over period. During the above per od I was constantly
in contact with members of Regiment.
From the turnout of members at the , .'inners held in Durban
and Pietermaritsburg it is obvious that ~embers of the
Regiment have found Hatal a happy retir~ mnt haven.
Keith Rawsons history of the footba' l teams from 1948 was
most interesting, Of course, what Kent:. ommitted was thatmembers played Football on Saturday - He =key on Sunday morning
and Rugby on Sunday afternoon and still sad time for a sing
song on Sunday evening at the canteen - "Clancy lowered theboom" etc.
I wonder if Keith will remember his ~romotion course from
lst Sergeant to Sub-Inspector. He was ~ allocated R/H Kentuckywho I would mention had been trained by 'olonel B.G. Spurlingas a horse to jump through fire - throu=n stone walls overmotor hikes, and walk on his hind leqs ". '. apping his forefeet.Keith if I remembered correctly, had a . ury exciting promot'oncourse with Kentucky continuously trying to jump through thewalls of the riding school and over any motorcycle in Salisbury.When being inspected by members of the ":aboard' Kentucky stoodon his hind legs and attempted to balance his i'ore-feet onthe shoelaces of a senior member of the "Hoard .
Keith eventually returned to depot ~ad was allocated R/H 6OOVkrain to carry out his morning "charac: r building" and- 11—

prnm th above it wi 1 1 be seen that the Regiment vas
horse orientated. Preparing a squad for "pass out parade
was a bit of a s~eat and many a harsh word vas said, but
fortunate ly for the young instructors taken in the spirit it' 'ss meati»
I can remember after a "pass out" parade being approachedby the 'mother of one of the squad members at the Police club
snd being handed an envelope, and being told in no uncertain
manner that I would find her sons birth certificate therein.
The t aining programme was updated eventually over a periodof twenty plus years and more emphasis was placed on practicalpolice !lutic'.

The mounted escourts and annual Poi ice displays brought
forth a lot of criticism from overworked station Commanders
but always proved very popular with the::tiodesian public of
all races,
The first post var mounted display ; resented at the
Salisbury and Bulavayo shows- consisted c.' a musical ride

He asks for his greetings to be pas~ on to all his old frierds in
part icul ar John Morqan 'The Senior prof essiona 1' of the Bulawayo 0cricket side in the late 50's. Harry has also sugqested that we
publish a list of the regional co-ordinators in the Outpost - a good
idea, we will do so and also re-publish the map so that members can
determine in which region they reside. 'I?ianks Harry.
Another of our memh rs who 'larquishes' in the Iberian penninsular,
Mike Edden 4727 writes from Mallorca with early apologies for the
annual dinner. Havirq just spent 4 aanths in Zimbabwe and R S A
with his children, he now works for 10 - 12 hours per day, 7 days
Per week for six months, then he hopes to spend his next Christmas
break with his daughter in Australia. He enquired about memkers in
Australia, but sadly we only have one on the U.K. roll - Taffy James
6606. Unfortunately Australia has yet to form a branch or perhaps
brarches for that large arxl far flun7 land.

Bill Earle 3921 tells us that he has written to the Producer of
Radio 4's "Face th Facts" w?use broadcast on 2nd. June 1988 exposed
the plight of ser vice per sorel who had been employed in srNie
African colonial countries. We wonder how many members heard this
prcqrarnne - it certainly indicated an all round familiar tale of
indif ference by various governments involved. It underlines what
might well be the ultimate pl iqht of the pensioners in our
Asscciaticn, an aspect about which many of our merrbers have made
representations to t?eir respective Members of Parliament, so far
with no positive response fran H M Government. Rme ~rsmaintain a ccnstant stream of corre~nce, maybe it wculd do no
harm if more joined in. Finally from Bill, he now runs his cern
picture f ramirq and restoration business from hcme - members may
well be interested in usirx) his services.16

Neil Arden 3004 writes to conplinent the content of The Outpost
(Thanks Neil: Ed) and is prarpted to send an extract frcxn his book
'Good News' of 1979 entitled 'Tolerance'. Hcpefully we will print

Various members receive lists of books published by Galaqo. These
tooks generally are about Rhodesia, South Africa etc and many have a
strong military background. In the lists are also videos, prints
and hunting classics. Those interested might care to enquire of
Galago at P 0 Box 404, Alberton, 1450, R.S.A.
Arthur Weston 3686 writes saying that the last editorial pronpted
his recall of the General Record Book and the section relating to
'Isolated Graves' which had to be visited annually and tidied up.
Entries such as 'Trooper Smith died of fever 1897' and Trooper
Robinson killed by a lion 1898" and 'Corporal Jones died of a snake
bite 1901' follrwed by directions to locate the graves, such as 'Two
miles north east of Ndhlovu's Kraal under giant baobab tree' bore
dates and details of members who had made these pilqrirrages to the
f inal resting places of earlier ~rs of the Force. Always
remote and often entailing %urs of search, Arthur wonders if in
this modern age such details are recorded on a corrputer and visited
by helicopter. Does any record remain or have they vanished into
the limbo of the forgotten past '? Can anyone say 2
Fred Jack 5858 tendered his apologies for non attendance at the A G
M and advised that he was seeking work in Dundee (hcpe you we«
successful Fred) and aked to be remembered to Peter Bradley 5856,
Kin Lank 5951 and encpires about Don McNiven 5859. Our Secretary

the Emerald Isle and kindly donated to the BSAP Trust the money he
would have spent on such occasicn. Thanks Harry.
Willie Cornell advises his change of address and says that he hcpes
to attend the Centenary Celebrations next year. W' ll be glad to
see you Willie.Arthur Pipe 3024 now 81 years young, (he was a mere lad of sane 40
sunmers when first we met - Ed), eschews long journeys on public
transport and apologises for his non attendance at the A G M. We
hcpe you will make an exception for the Centenary one Arthur
Ccrmtenting upon Neil Arden's write up in the last Outpost, Arthur
states he was one of the party who sailed out on the Caernarvon
Castle some 60 years aqo. Arthur is hoping to see Neil's photo as
his ccpy succumbed to the white ants many years ago. Whilst he
cannot re@ember the entire squad he does renember Arden, Bellany,
Bain (tragically drowned crossing a river whilst on patrol),
Edgelow, Haslam Fox, Russel Goggs, Les Gaylard, Chris Lennard,
Lucas, Steve Maybrook, Cmerod, Ralph, Stokes, Snowden and Scholes.
Not a bad memory Arthur '.

Secretaries around the uorld seem despondedt at declines in nuntxrs
~t various functions. W in Natal have for sofia ime vorried outselves
over this trendi but came to the conclusion that;". is a natural thang
to happen: after the sudden surge of interest, iten merc»rs arrived
in large meara over a short period of cise, having found themselves
in a strange country, it uas a very nice 'crutch' to lean on, to t»
asong friends of slsLilar background. A wlcome, a drink, and a chat
about old tis»s and nev did sas:h co dispel the an-, uisn of being a ne
~ettler. This of course has nou passed by.
M~ h ~ settled, taken to their nev environrr»nt, nsde net frie~s,
and the history of Rhodesia becomes )ust that; a blut of !ond memories
long ago.
So, ue nou face a neu situation, :he true re~son .for out existance
as an Association. It is apparent that the 'Benevolence' fat m&cn w
have pledged toprovide is soon to be a reality. Wus. i neu «ra vill
