Story

I only found out about what happened in 1993 when I went to visit some of the guys that joined on for short Service in 1992. Cpl Mike Land told me that L/Cpl Kladis had died in a car accident along with Pte Pohl and Pte Olberholzer. Mike Land and myself were their Medical Phase instructors.

Story
I remember this well. All these guys were in my unit. We were split up to work at different hospitals during hospital phase of our ops medic training. The week before this happened I was at the hospital that L/CPL Kladis was overseeing. After our week had completed we went back to Jo'burg Gen and I remember being told that there had been an accident and that eight of our guys were either dead or seriously injured. I can't remember for sure but I think that PTE Gordon (also on this site) was taken in this accident. I remember going to funerals each day and being part of the military representation at L/CPL Kladis's. After that we always sang the song that PTE Pohl had written for us to sing as we ran.
