If this is the J Barnard that i served with he was killed at Epupa falls in the Kokoveld(sector 10 ) in May/ June of 1987. He was out on a mine hunt with his team and a CPL Corrai when the buffel in which they were traveling hit a land mine. the buffel fliped over. Both Cpl Barnard and his closed friend Corria were killed. They were from SWA Genni and only had 2 week to go before returning to 911 to train the next intak

Sadly this is not the late comrade I thought it was.

Barnard and Corria from SWAGENI  /102BN names are not to be found on any list

Or memorial wall I checked. Sad that lives are lost and they go unrecorded

Story

I would also like to know who this Barnard is, was he the guy that did JL's with me in 1986 at Bossiesspruit near Kroonstad.I later heard that he died in a mine accident but I could never confirm it. Barrie's was part of the SWA forces and he along with Tillo von Brandis were send to the SA in 1986 for training.I have some photos of him that I would like to give to his family.
