SITREP
Craig entered the harbour at about 0300L. Recovery crew stood down. On debrief this aft he said it was a very long trip, but a good drive, approx 1250 km. I had a good look at the wire five box in the day light and all things considered it is in reasonably good shape. On the right rear corner is the remnants of a "Central Command" shield, and on the left rear is the remains of a RCEME insignia. Can't tell which unit, as there isn't enough of the AOS marking left. Much work ahead, but New Brunswick in the winter is the best time to be inside. Craig will send the information off the data plates on the 13 cab that he got from Mark Hutchings in Kingston to the appropriate keeper of data etc. This cab is back where it started, as Mark and I recovered it about 10 years ago, and it went to Ont when Mark moved there.
For Bob C - Last week of Oct in Ottawa, will advise through Rob Clarke. Well as can be - reserve table at Gracie's.
Cheers, Bill
