I have tried manipulating the photo but the name is too blurred to be sure it could TAUNT or TERROR but impossible to be sure. Cheers Kevin |

I was going through the 49APCR war diary the other night and found an action report for this incident that also corroborates the account from a veteran of the Ox & Bucks. Sadly, neither the 49APCR diary or the 49APCR Workshop diary records the name or census number of a single Kangaroo APC, they're actually worse than the 1CACR diaries... so really all we have to go on, are 3rd party period documents/letters and photos. Bill. |

Kevin,
I have a spread sheet detailing the known/confirmed 1CACR named APCs by Squadron and with census numbers (when known). I've not compiled such data on the 49APCR as of yet. I will review your lists and get back to you. I do see a few minor errors in what you have. Bill. |

MERLINs' commander is obviously an ex-scout - prepared for anything. Bill Miller says I have a few minor errors in the list of 1 CACR names and numbers in a previous post so just waiting for Bill to put me right. Cheers Kevin |
