Watched Legacy Conversations interview with SADF Col Stanley F Botten – who was the second in command of 2 Recce Regiment as well as a Hunter Group officer. It was from the Hunter Group that the idea to create South African Special Forces started.
He was also the SO1 for Ops Firewood, 1987, giving us valuable insight into what happened at higher command. Col Botten also wrote several books
