Red Chief
Hi Kevin,
If you are talking about the small photo I posted. It is "Red Chief" (as in the short story by O'Henry??). I'm sorry I don't have a better photo of it, I wish I did it is a great photo. On the cast turret is the marking C IV(roman numeral 4). This marking can be seen on several 1CACR Rams. What it stands for is up for speculation. It isn't a regimental marking. My guess is that it is some sort of identifier put on by the workshops?
Red Chief was Murray (Baldy) McCarten's kangaroo, B Squadron. I don't have a CT number for it.
Bill.
