TAC Sign
I realise this is not an engineering marvel, but I am happy with the result.
Did the copy of Max's TAC sign. Welding was not done by me as I do not own a welder. Bob Hart one the maintenance blokes at Grain Corp was luckily out at our Coolamon site and more than happy to run a bead to attach the centre 'tail' to the plate. All the bending, cutting, shaping and filing done by yours truly.

2nd Div formation sign background colour
Here's an interesting background - woodgrain!
THE FORMATION SIGN OF 2ND DIVISION AIF, DURING THE 1939-45 WAR. THE SIGN WAS REPRODUCED IN WHITE ON A BLACK SQUARE. THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS THE SIGN REPRODUCED ON A PIECE OF FURNITURE IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DIVISIONAL COMMANDER AND WAS TAKEN AFTER THE WAR TO SHOW HOW THE SIGN HAD BEEN RENDERED.

I notice the AWM have an original 2nd Div vehicle:
"This vehicle was used by the Australian Army during the Second World War. It served at least part of its career with the Second Australian Infantry Division and in Western Command." Penguin is on yellow background here.

I don't fully remember the circumstances of the formation sign on that truck ... it is a long time ago that it was purchased from a Victorian enthusiast. The truck was in Castlemaine as the 'spare' at a factory before he purchased and restored it including a repaint. After several years driving, he agreed to selling it to the AWM. I seem to remember that there were remains of the formation sign that he then reproduced.
The canvas is also an original WW2 canopy that came with it when he bought it, although I think marked to another truck type. Nice, original truck with a low mileage. It was a very worthwhile acquisition. Mike C

Now that truck is interesting...
Begs the question, what would go into the TAC sign holder? The one attached to the front that appears to be off a Cab 13?
