Over thirty years ago, the African country of
Rhodesia was under attack on her borders by communist terrorists. The
Rhodesian Selous Scouts, an elite army division, was formed not only to
defend the borders but to be dropped into enemy territory to seek and
destroy. Superior even to the esteemed British S.A.S, the Selous Scouts
were formidable.
These limited editions are signed not
only by a number of men to took part in these actions, but also by the
controversial leader Prime Minister Ian Smith and the two men who
formed the Selous Scouts from scratch......Winston Hart and Lt. Colonel
Ron Reid-Daly.
What may make this release of particular
interest to collectors is that the artist Robert Bailey appears in the
left frame, firing a sub machine gun.
The Signatures
Hon. I.D. (Ian) Smith (Then Prime Minister of Rhodesia)
Winston Hart
Lt. Colonel Ron Reid-Daly
Richard Solomon
Alfred Milne (signed in leu by his daughter Jennifer Vermaak)
