Right place, right time with a little luck thrown in.

It was the biggest kick I've had in a damn long time, I assure you!

Default With Skill and Fighting

Yesterday I received my copy of the RAEME history book, With Skill and Fighting.
It's a damn fine book, and absolutely full of information. Equally important, the book has a large number of photos, making it a visual treat as well. I only started reading it last night, but have already identified the WW2 AEME unit I will eventually represent when I restore the currently grey truck.

Will upload some images of the book, when I can do so. Right now, the book is in our bedroom, and once again I'm awake and about far too early. Don't want to wake Mrs B by going back in there to get the book, so it'll have to wait till later. I can absolutely recommend With Skill and Fighting to anyone who has an interest in military history, for current or former members of the Corps, or even those who just enjoy a stimulating read. The book is $80, which includes postage within Australia, and can be purchased by following the instructions found here http://www.raeme.org.au/index.php/co...ail?Itemid=278

P.S: David, i read your post about the orangutang (I have no idea how to spell it), and intended to reply later. Went looking for the post this AM but can't find it now. Anyway, it's more arms I need, not longer ones!

I removed the post Tony to determine whether it was a joke or not and David decided NOT to repost it.
