CFB Borden first visit

[David Dunlop]

Robert.

Things have moved around a bit since I was visiting Bordon, but at that time, there was some speculation the Firefly on display was based on a Canadian Grizzly. There was also a Sherman parked on the East side of Worthington Park, facing the park, close to what was then the RCAMC Museum. It came back from overseas and there was some significance to it's being returned. It had been knocked out by an anti tank round, left side, driver's position and had been patched and put back into service. You could still see traces of the impact cone from the solid shot round showing along the edges of the patch. Cannot recall the importance of it's being brought back to Canada, however.
