As a young boy in the UK we always heard tales of WW II Home Guard catches of arms and ammunition but I never did track one down.

This is an account of one day of an elephant safari in Botswana, November 2008. This was an extremely hot time of year.

I had purchased a Class Matador combine from a farm auction in Cartwright, Manitoba (122 miles from Virden). As we were new in Manitoba and had not built up any connections, I failed to get affordable transport to ship the combine home.

The year must have been 1981, as we were still living in the UK, and Pat and I hadn't immigrated to Canada until 1982. We were in the town of Bisley attending our last "Gun Show", and I was selling everything.
