Sherman ARV at Camp Borden??

[Yeo.NT]

When I was at the school in 2006 and again 2008 the M74 was stored in the Vehicle Tech school. It was brought out for change of command parades or RCEMEM Day. Sadly I never got to see it move under its own power. I am not sure if no one knew how to operate it, not in running condition or just simpler to drag it to where ever it was needed.

The Canadian Army never used M74 ARVs; I believe this example is ex-Bundeswehr and it is painted in fictitious markings so as to mislead the uninformed masses.

Bill Mulholland (RIP) was instrumental in saving this ARV from becoming a hard target at Bergen Hohne and I believe it was Belgium ARV. It became his pet and was often seen behind the Leopard ARV being dragged around from range to range as A Sqn RCD was training for CAT 83. The Sgn returned to Lahr by tank train (man those where the days) but the ARV had to stay in Hohne till a gentlemens agreement was reached in a collection of CF badges for the ARV that was brought down by road. Once at Lahr the A Sqn mechs got it running, it even participated in the roll past for the 84 Leiliefontein.
