The Honoris Crux (Cross of Honour):
The Honoris Crux was South Africa's premier gallantry decoration awarded to members of the Defence Force between 1961 and 1991. As I was only in Namibia and Angola in the year 1980, I have only reproduced the pages covering that year's recipients from Ian Uys' book, "Honoris Crux". The book has over 300 stories of courage and sacrifice. If you are interested in purchasing the book, click on (external link to Fortress Books' website)
