Winds of Destruction ( PDFDrive )

Two years after my birth my brother Paul Anthony (Tony) was born. Together
we enjoyed a carefree childhood in the idyllic surroundings of the Rhodesian
highveld. Our westward-facing home was set high on a ridge overlooking rolling
farmlands, with the city of Salisbury and its famous kopje (Afrikaans for hill)
clearly visible beyond the multi-coloured msasa trees and bushlands. From here
our parents enjoyed breathtaking sunsets as they took their after-work
‘sundowner’ drinks on our spacious verandah.
My parents wedding day photograph was taken in my grandparents’ garden.
Dad’s best man, Alan Martin (later my godfather), is left of Dad. To the right of
my mother are her parents and sister Roma. Her brothers John and Bill are the
two youngsters seen here.
