Default Exciting find

In addition to other fiddily bits, I have been making that TAC sign holder as a copy from the original I got from Max.

I would like to put a divisional marking in it of some relevance to my grandfather but the question was... which one?

Grandpa was originally with the 21st light horse after doing some research, it seems they were shifted all over the place and re-assigned repeatedly to different units during the war.

This made it very difficult pick one sign & my poor old grandfather simply cant remember.

I then remembered I had some old photo's he gave me which were of some carriers they were assigned to around 1942.

I was stoked to find in one of the images, a pretty clear picture of....a Penquin....Australian 2nd Division.

Blokes in the Carrier are (as written on the back of the photo) L to R
J.Mack, L.Shooemark, C.A. Forbes, W.H. Brown driving.
