Congratulations!*
*
You have achieved a Marginal Victory.*
*
You've done the Rhodesian Light Infantry proud!*
*
"I sat at the dreaded desk and wondered two things.  First, does the country know what it owes to the RLI, and secondly, what will be the verdict of history on our Regiment?*
*
My answer to the first quesion is, I doubt it.  Sure, they know that where the going is toughest that's where you'll find the RLI, but perhaps they don't understand fully what that means.*
*
However, in regard to my second question I'd say - one day they will know what they owe the RLI - for my bet is that history will say that the RLI troopie was the equal, if not the peer, of the British para, the American marine, the German storm-trooper or Napoleon's Imperial Guard."*
