ROR Remembers
On 11 January 2026, former members of Regiment Oranjerivier (ROR) gathered at the NG Church in Melkbosstrand for a wreath‑laying ceremony commemorating the regiment’s involvement in Operation Savannah fifty years earlier. Led by former Honorary Colonel A.P. Stemmet, with support from Lt H.O. de Waal and RSM Karel Minnie, the event honoured the regiment’s fallen—particularly the single cavalryman lost during the operation. The ceremony drew strong attendance, including veterans who had served in Savannah and members who travelled long distances to be present. The church community, under the guidance of Rev Louw, offered warm hospitality. Participants expressed a desire to revitalise the Armour Corps Association in the Western Cape as a space for veterans to reconnect and preserve shared memories. The occasion evoked pride, reflection, and a deep sense of remembrance among all who attended.
