John Edmond - Black Boots

[Hollywoodbass]

My Father wore black boots and an Eagle on his sleeve! RIP Dad.

I love the music because it briefly takes me back home.

@MrTommybull Hope you had some good memories. :)

[dasblaulicht]

what medals are those in the picture with the patches and medals?



[tweedlebeetles]

@dasblaulicht I think the first is the Zimbabwe Independence Medal. Second to last is the Rhodesian General Service Medal, and the last is the Police Long Service Medal. I couldn't figure out the second, but it might be the Police Cross for Conspicuous Gallantry?

Support unit one of the beast guerilla fighter units of the war in Rhodesia .

God Bless Rhodesia. God Bless Ian Douglas Smith.

[alagentleman1]

@RhodesianBok Amen to that! History will show Ian Smith to be one of the most honorable of the few really great statesmen of the last century. Heaven knows our "statesmen" in the West displayed craven cowardice in their refusal to stand by Rhodesia in her hour of need. God bless Rhodesia indeed!

Great song! Always happy to hear music from Rhodesia.

[1floridacracker]

I love Rhodesian music.

I feel terrible for what the liberals of my country did to fuck you guys in the war against communism and the terrorists.

[kenneth1940]

My kind of music, as an ex Rhodesian.

[forestallA]

I'm a Russian, and LOVE Rhodesia and its music!!!!

[Murmelmann]

@kenneth1940 For me there is no such thing as an ex Rhodesian!

[lipovan87]

Might I know which came first (in terms of songs), Green Boots or Black Boots?

[tweedlebeetles]

By what I could find on Google, Black Boots came first, with Green Boots being based on it.

[Badgerbitesback]

it would have to be black boots first, since the rhodesian bush war ended a good stretch before KOEVOET was formed :)

[MVhlf]

@lipovan87 Black boot came first

[mvubu1234]

@lipovan87 - Black boots was at least 10 or 15 years earlier. Green boots mentions Eugene de Kock
