Sorry for the delay, but things are very busy at my farm right now. Better late than never, here are the give-away results. We had six members enter the contest with some interesting facts about the Matilda Scorpion. Also, three members posted some awesome pics. Thank-you. Here is a list of the entrants: Boomer Bill mnnorthstars X 2 thor711 armchair general X 2 ticat1 cavalrywolfpack X 2
Since I am work right now I cannot use a Canadian Para beret to draw the winners name, so I will have my captain draw the name from a Canadian fire helmet.
Huzzah! Totally happy to get this addition to my AAM collection. I should have responded sooner, thanking Firehouse for doing this, and sending regards to the knowledgeable Forum members who contributed the facts and images that made this such an engrossing thread. I was in Europe and blew way over my data plan! So I throttled back on Web surfing. Part of the trip was family history: visiting the resting places of two soldiers fromtwo World Wars. Part of it was visiting the places they passed through, including Juno Beach and Vimy Ridge. I hope to post some photos and a trip report.
Those who don't remember their history are bound to do something or other...
