Horsham Reserve Forces Day
Hi All
A relatively new military celebration day here in Oz is Reserve Forces Day that recognises the contribution of the Reserve Forces to the defence of the land. Ada and I travelled to Horsham, Victoria (about 830km round trip) for this parade and we entered an Australian Armoured Car into the parade. The significance of this was that only 18 were made between 1934 - 1940, but two still exist, Bandicoot and Porcupine. The other significance is that these vehicles were deployed to the First Armoured Car Regiment in Horsham and this parade was the first time the vehicles had been back in Horsham for about 67 years.
