Over the years, Pat Honeyborne, who has served in the South West African Police from 1926 to 1945 and in the security staff of the Consolidated Diamond Mines in Oranjemund until his retirement in 1964, published a number of articles and contributions on a wide range of subjects in publications such as the SWA Annual and the Windhoek Advertiser. It would appear that it was always his intention to have these published in one volume, as this book is based on a collection of typescripts which he compiled. After his death in 1973, the file containing these typescripts and the first attempts at sourcing relevant photographic material was acquired by John Bester and submitted for publication with the consent and assistance of Pat Honeyborne's children. Had it not been for this twist of events, a considerable part of Pat Honeyborne's writings would have been lost to posterity. Every effort was made to illustrate this volume with contemporary photographs, in parts from Pat Honeyborne himself.
