Although the history of South Africa and the Second World War has received considerable attention (especially the military aspects), nothing substantial has yet been written on the participation of South African blacks in the war. Capt. J. C. Knoetze and Lt. M. Hallack respectively completed factual reports on the Non-European Army Services (NEAS) outside South Africa1 and a record of the NEAS2 shortly after the war. H. J. Martin and N. Orpen dismissed black participation in a few lines,3 while E. Roux4 and recently K. W. Grundy5 each touched on the topic in passing. In an article in the South African Historical Journal, M. Roth also cursorily dealt with the subject of South African blacks in the Second World War.6
