Story
Sapper Alfred Robert Willemse was a member of 2 Field Regiment, and was involved in the Operation Savannah battles surrounding Bridge 14 in December 1975. On the 11th, he was part of the bridge building team which was attacked by enemy infantry, and during these exchanges he was badly wounded in the head. Despite his comrades best efforts, he later succumbed to his wound.
