In Memoriam
Special Forces personnel are by the very nature of their work regularly exposed to danger and the ever present possibility of losing a comrade in battle.
We honour Operators, Support Personnel and their loved ones on these pages.
They shall grow not old, as we that are
left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
From the poem
For The Fallen (1914)
by Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)
The Operator's PrayerThis the
official prayer of the operators of the South African Special
Forces: Heavenly Father,
King of the world,
I know
that all things
are in Your hands,
whatever happens to
me.
As a Special Forces Operator,
I am prepared to
suffer hardship.
I am ready to endure danger,
unrest, pain
and hurt.
I am going to be hungry and thirsty.
I am prepared
to face the enemy
fearlessly, Lord.
I am weak.
I
cannot depend
upon my own strength;
I do not want to
trust
in my own abilities.
Lord, my God,
let
me trust in You alone.
And, above all,
faith
to do
my work fearlessly
- always.
Amen
