Col. William Phethu; BDF�s mother of armour

Last week I received a call from retired Colonel Phethu in response to my opinion piece titled “Saving the relics of the Shorland armoured vehicle.

I always do get feedback from both serving and retired soldiers and this helps me to refine my research on military topics because I know there are experts in the different areas who read what I write. I am open to objective criticism whether it is positive or negative. I still have to respond to Col. Dikole’s rebuttal on several topics I discussed recently. But he is one character who finds objectivity very illusive.
