We will remember them. Lest we forget!
Job Maseko's bravery knew no bounds. While imprisoned after the fall of Tobruk in 1942, the member of South Africa's Native military Corps and his fellow black comrades received inhumane treatment. Still, determined to help the Allied fight against the Axis powers, Maseko took matters into his own hands and made a bomb out of a milk tin and other objects he could find. Then, after asking his friends to look out for him, Maseko boarded a German freight ship and placed the handmade item near the fuel barrels, lit the fuse, and walked back to his work spot before anyone could spot him. Little did the South African soldier know what the ship carried and the role this brave act would have in the war.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
