This is a story of men, women, and children whose heroism transcends mere personal achievement. Their deeds of selfless devotion are the golden threads that bind for all time the story of the South African nation. It is a record of only a cross-section of her heroes, for within the limit of these pages it is not possible to record them all. But as the years go by, further chapters will be added to this saga which should be an inspiration to present and future generations of South Africans. Man's courage to sacrifice himself for his fellow men, if need be to die for them - on this depends on the true greatness of a nation. The wealth that lies in its soil, its industry, its brainpower, are its sinews. But the lifeblood of a nation is its heritage of selfless men and women about whom this book is written and to whom it is dedicated.
