The initial thought was to have a motorcycle and jeep at a cross roads with a military or regimental policeman directing traffic. A UC, one C15 and a F15 would be clearly represented, and if the artist can make it happen perhaps a C15TA can be thrown in.
While I was still serving, we commissioned Col Gauthier, to do a number of works, for the regiment. His work is really impressive. I was to his studio (home), a couple of times in the mid 90's.

Cheers
