#ArmedForcesDay is held annually on 21 February in commemoration of the sinking of the #SSMendi steamship in 1917, one of South African’s worst tragedies of the First World War (1914-1918). 616 black South African troops died when the steamship sank on its way to France. https://t.co/rNphKN1Rnr — PolitiTweet.org
