The article focussed on the introduction of HMAS Tobruk. Is this person any relation to you??

As you are, or were, a turret Head, the same journal also has an article "Put Your Head in the Sand - Here Comes their Armour." Reviews use of armour from WW2, Yom Kippur War through to our 106 RCL on short-base Rovers, Centurians and the impending intro of the Leopard 1 MBT.
