Visit to the South African National War Museum

A couple of years ago I finally got do do a trip to the National War Museum in Johannesburg, For some strange reason my wife and daughter didn't want to come with so my brother-in-law and my daughters boyfriend and I made the trip, We arrived at about 09:00 and left at 17:00, so it was a day well spent (Apologies for the links not working, I have repaired them so all should be good)
