UMGENI COMMANDO--2nd issue--Left Facing??
This is the last issue/design of the Flash to this interesting Commando, which saw more action than most. They were formed way back in October of 1963 and served on the Mozambique Border in early 1980 and then in July of that year in South West Africa as back up troops. Being in the Durban North area, they had a larger population base to call on. "Quartermaster's Comment":- This looks like a 'Left Facing' Flash---but I have NOT yet seen a Right Facing example. Will someone fill me in on this?
