Military Service from 1964 to

Dennis Croukamp has gone down in Rhodesian Army folklore as an outstanding operator who served with first the Rhodesian Light Infantry then transferred to the Selous Scouts. He was awarded his Bronze Cross whilst serving with the RLI. He was a career soldier at his own admission wasn’t the best disciplined. It seemed this led him to be a greater operator with the Selous Scouts. He was famed for walking out of Mozambique after being left behind by accident whilst on an operation.
