Today, got the latest edition of Canadian Military (Esprit de Corps).

There is a 5 page article about the Kangaroos...background, formation, action, disbandment.

Geoff Winnington-Ball is mentioned as a driving force to have a permanent memorial site on Canadian soil. (Dammit Geoff why couldn't you hang on for 5 months or so?).

A timely article, tying in nicely with the planned guidon presentation to be held in St Thomas, ON, 10 Sep 2011.

Jon, I’m curious, who wrote the article?

Cheers

Mark: Article credited to KGE "Chuck" Konkel, with the title "We were soldiers once, and young...", LGen Hal Moore and Joe Galloway.

Knowing your interest in 1CACR, I figured that you would eventually respond.

Stand by Hardomos, while I ponder the technological mumbo jumbo of scanning a posting the cover of the magazine.

Seems the text can be found online here: "We were soldiers once ... And young".
