So simple but so good!

Best wishes to all former Rhodies and RAR servicemen, hugs from Brazil! 🇧🇷🤝🇳🇫

Iam a scot.

I want to go home.

Support Rhodesia!

I loved them like brothers, every one of them, and still do, I watched them, as they layed over their MAG's, in the darkness, so the murungu civvies could sleep safe. I remember the ripping sheets of red tracer from their positions, homing in on the gomos from where the incoming green gook AK and RPG's came

Blerrie el, those men... what voices they had. Vocal & FN.

Total respect for those brave people.

Bonding and Empowering! Thank you for posting the wonderful African harmony "Sweet Banana" song and my heart-filled compliments to all great RAR African singers.

Love it!

Excuse my ignorance but would someone mind to explain? I didn't know that the RAR also took part in paratrooping missions. I thought such Douglas flights were only for the RLI and SAS.

My friend is Rhodesian. I am a patriotic Scot. Mugabe. 💣☠

The finest soldiers in the Rhodesian war .. much respect to my black African brothers … pambere 🙏🏻

Brave guys

Is there a version of this not on UA-cam?

Oh don’t mind me just sobbing at 3am completely sober and emotionally moved by the brave RAR

Some of the finest men to have ever served.

My Great Uncle was a major in the RAR. If anyone thinks they might have known him, I'll send more details

What is up with songs about bananas always being extremely catchy?

Amazing soldiers - not given their due respect because of a warped history. But we know: the Rhodesian African Rifles are superb. Will always be remembered with pride and honour. SALUTE.

They're boarding the 'vomit comet '. They only did that when the helicopters weren't enough. They were also paratroopers. They fought proudly as one with the Rhodesian Security Forces. We salute them always.

History of the RAR Regimental March: Though it is not known who created "Sweet Banana", it is known it was created around 1942 during the Second World War. It reportedly came about after Rhodesian African Rifles soldiers were escorting Italian prisoners of war off a boat in Durban, Natal Province, Union of South Africa. Due to the large amount of bananas being sold there, the soldiers stopped to buy some and composed a march about it. Upon the end of the war, the RAR were located in Egypt and when they were told their Commanding Officer was returning via the Suez Canal, the soldiers lined the banks to salute him and sang him in to "Sweet Banana". At the 1946 Victory Parade in London, the RAR represented Southern Rhodesia and the band played "Sweet Banana" as they approached the parade dais. Traditionally when it was performed, the soldiers would sing as they marched. When the RAR was disbanded in 1981 following the establishment of Zimbabwe, "Sweet Banana" was performed for the last time as they marched through the streets of Bulawayo towards the ceremony where their colours were laid up. They had originally marched in silence and only performed it in response to hearing a young boy ask his father why the soldiers were not singing. Be sure to check out John Edmonds’ version. He made covers of many of the Rhodesian Regimental Marches in tribute to them.

Can we just kill the people who are charging the kid money for cancer treatment or

True Patriots! Fighting the terrors of Communism!!!!!!!! So underrated! Some of the best soldiers of the 20th Century! LONG LIVE RHODESIA!!!!!!! I’ll never call it Zimbabwe!!!!

I’ll buy you all a sweet banana……………

This song gives me the chills it's so good!

Long live Rhodesia!!!! Greetings from Russia!! My brother's!!!

ZANLA and ZIPRA feared these soldiers. RAR are true Rhodesian. Great soldiers - Respect.

What a beautiful song. The RAR have our eternal respect. SALUTE.

Stay safe is a BS comment but it comes from the heart to members of the Rhodesian African Rifles (RAR). Watch out for the CIA evil assassins and their drones. Any dissent will be crushed. The days are gone where the military protects the citizen. Or, are they?
