The bush war

The bush war in Angola lasted for more than twenty years, from 1966 to 1989. The result was that everyone was affected. You were there. Or your son was. Or you Dad fought there. As with most wars, less than 10% actually ended up shooting the rifles they were issued with - but it affected us all. This is a collection of pics taken by the people involved, they are grainy and shitty, but it's a reminder of a time long ago and far away.
