Default cross member

Thanks Bob

A most informative write up !

The cab 11 here has the non-reinforced cross member so I had better keep an eye on it for any signs of cracks .


I know the cab 11 was probably up at Bandiana vehicle park at wars end . I found a soldiers service number and name scribbled on the dash VX65738 JS Hunter (tank gunner) . A letter was sent off to him at Ballarat . He replied saying his unit were at Bandiana waiting to be disbanded , 2/4th Armoured reg . He wrote, we were bored and sitting around getting up to no good . He indicated that he " vandalised" the C8 there.
