DEAR RHINOS. I am not intentionally, saying Rhino veterans, even though i had named the site “faujirhinoveterans.com” because my aim of launching into this venture is to ensure that the serving Rhinos and future Rhinos know about all their predecessors. I was forced to enter into this operation as many younger generation had not heard of many Senior Rhinos. Names of many who donned the RHINO BADGE have been forgotten even in the documents of the Army. I do appreciate that in a busy day to day environment the officers have no time to read about the predecessors. Nor the units have a ready reference on very many officers who had served in the battalion. Many of our units have celebrated golden jubilee and some are heading towards diamond jubilee. . We as a Regiment have celebrated platinum jubilee . It is humanly impossible to get data on all the senior officers at one place.
My humble effort to get as many names as i could , brought into these pages ,so that the future generation will have some base to work on and develop .
Regimental History Volume 3 has given names of many Rhinos for which i thank the authors. But i do wonder how many of the serving lot have read the volume 3 or future lot will read regimental history. When we were subalterns we had a retention test in which out of six papers one was regimental history. Maj Bob Snaize failed us three times till we could achieve his expected standard and we could never achieve the standard set by lt col t . Sailo. hi i brought in two new names for you to learn.
