The three were Tom Moodie, P.A. Goosen, and C. van Heerden. They reported for national service on 3 January, 1963, as members of the 101 Air Supply Platoon (101 ASP) of the Active Citizen Force.

Tom Moodie was selected to attend a candidate officer's course which began in April, at the Military Services School, and was commissioned as an assistant field cornet (AFC) (2nd lieutenant) on his successful completion of that course. He served as quartermaster at 16 K&T Company for the last three months of his training. P.A. Goosen and C. van Heerden became NCOs of the 101 Air Supply Platoon and served out their national service as corporals in the same company, the 16 K&T, located at the Technical Service's Base at Lyttelton, Pretoria. Also in April 1963, a fourth member, serviceman L. Knobel, was drafted to the same unit. National service drafts at that time occurred every three months; in the July intake three members were added to the unit and another two in September. The next year twelve members were added, so that by the end of 1964 the unit's strength stood at 21 members. Towards the middle of 1967 the first draft of recruits for 102 Air Supply Platoon began. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「101 Air Supply Unit SAOSC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
