While we were busy with staff training at the SA Army College we stayed in a officers mess and one of the paintings in the coffee room where of a soldier sitting in a tent reading a letter.
Everyday there were somebody that made a comment of what were written in that letter.
The most pouplar comment were that the troop were given the "bloupas" or the sack. It meant that his girlfriend wrote him a letter telling him that it is over between them.
In those days when you received a letter in a blue envelope then it spells out that your relaitionship were taken a nosedive.
