In his message to the mourners delivered by Hajjat Medina , H.E the President guided that this specific excerpt is relayed citing the FRONASA Mbarara barracks attack of 17th September 1972 where Maj Gen. Gowan played a critical role as the 2nd in command to Ali Fadul. Fadul would later flee leaving Gowan in charge. Gowan managed to put a strong resistance to the invading forces who appeared uncoordinated and lacked sophisticated weaponry at the time.
