#1 The Pattle family was torn apart when World War I broke out. Jack Pattle, who was a military magistrate in South Africa, went off to fight against the Kaiser’s troops in South West Africa. It was four long years before he was able to see his children again.
#2 The brothers were sent to the local school in Keetmanshoop, and for the first time in their lives, they were able to mix with children of German and Afrikaans descent. They were both given pellet guns, an indispensable part of a South African boy’s equipment.
#3 Tom was a thousand miles from home, but he never felt homesick. He settled down quickly and made a lot of friends. He studied conscientiously, played games with gusto, and at the end of his first term was able to report that the school and the climate seemed to suit him.
#4 Tom Pattle was a student at Grahamstown High School in 1931, when he decided to join the South African Air Force. He was invited to attend an interview at Air Force Headquarters in 1933, and was rejected. He began a course at a local commercial college to brush up his English grammar and other skills.

#1
The Pattle family was torn apart when World War I broke out. Jack Pattle, who was a military magistrate in South Africa, went off to fight against the Kaiser’s troops in South West Africa. It was four long years before he was able to see his children again.
#2
The brothers were sent to the local school in Keetmanshoop, and for the first time in their lives, they were able to mix with children of German and Afrikaans descent. They were both given pellet guns, an indispensable part of a South African boy’s equipment.
#3
Tom was a thousand miles from home, but he never felt homesick. He settled down quickly and made a lot of friends. He studied conscientiously, played games with gusto, and at the end of his first term was able to report that the school and the climate seemed to suit him.
#4
Tom Pattle was a student at Grahamstown High School in 1931, when he decided to join the South African Air Force. He was invited to attend an interview at Air Force Headquarters in 1933, and was rejected. He began a course at a local commercial college to brush up his English grammar and other skills.
#5
Tom found it difficult to find a job, and when he was offered the position of assistant sales manager, he accepted without hesitation. It would at least keep him busy until something better came along.
#6
Tom had to do a lot of salesmanship, clerical work, and fix up refrigerators. He also had to drive himself around the reef in the company’s van collecting payments and doing a bit of canvassing.
