Trek Verera con’d

     Recorded from the singing of Kit Denton, who  learned this song as well from South African paratroopers in 1st Abn Div during WWII. and is a tradition Boer song, still sung in the S.A. Army.

     This was all Kit could remember, but it is a good singing song, so I guess appropriate verses could be added to suit conitions at the time,i.e. -saddle your horse, we’ll go flying, or -hooves cross the veldt, sound of Freedom - Veldt before me, God beside me -God  beside me, world (English, rooineks) behind me, ad infinitum
