ARNE SODERLAND: GUIDED TOUR OF AN EXTENSIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE PRIVATE MUSEUM ON THE MAIN ROAD IN GLENCAIRN THAT HAS BEEN BUILT AND HOUSED BY HIM

 

Arne, as the custodian, has housed and logged comprehensive and extremely valuable artefacts that relate to not just naval aspects, but include early SA memorabilia and historical related records. Many are unique to this museum and include a broad spectrum of artefacts that have not been housed and curated before and that will interest all visitors. A formal visit to this museum is highly recommended for the ongoing and previously unknown events of the day. The museum does not detract from the Simon’s Town Naval Museum. In fact, it complements it and is closely associated with that well-known museum.

 

BIO: ARNE SODERLUND is an ex Vice Admiral of the SA Navy. He, in conjunction with Douw Steyn, is the author of the book, Iron Fist from the Sea, which is a comprehensive record of the military operations conducted by the Top Secret Seaborne Recce regiments around the Southern African Coast during 1978 to 1988 - a highly recommended read of the military operations and bravery of Recce members during this period.
