Kangaroo Photos wanted
I need Kangaroo photos!!! (all you Aussies, sit down!)
An upcoming Weapons of War booklet will cover the topic of the Ram Kangaroo and I need good photos/scans as well as photo references at Canada's Public Archives. To explain fully, I have, thanks to Bill Miller, son of a WWII 1 CACR vet, a large number of quality photos from the Bovington Tank Museum. The problem is that BTM charges 20 Pounds for the right to reproduce 'their' photos. Many of these BTM photos are also available from the Public Archives and I need their "PA" number so that I can order the Canadian print and reproduce these without charge. I also welcome private photos and any other photos that are in the public domain. As usual, a photo credit and a complimentary copy of the finished book are offered as a thank you. http://www.servicepub.com/weapons.html

's-Hertogenbosch 1944
Hello servicepub (?)
There is a great picture of a kangaroo on page 49 of “Den Bosch, Bevochten en bevrijd; October 1944” (= Fought for and liberated). Luc van Gent, the author of the book, states that the picture is from the Imperial War Museum (no frame-number given). I think the picture is great, not only because of the composition (CT 160141 on a bendy sand-track) but also because it was taken during the liberation of my place of birth. Because I don’t want to violate copyright I have added a selection of the picture with some text inserted just to give you an idea. There are also some nice pictures on British Pathe. I will post some frame-numbers later if you're interested. This probably won't win me a free copy but best of luck with your new book. Harold |

It's a Kangaroo named "ARMADILLO", but I'm not sure it it's 1CACR or 49APC. Source: http://www.1cacr.org/gallery2.html |

Kangaroos at Tilburg
De Markt, Tilburg, 27 October 1944, waiting for a liberation parade.
Clive, I've searched http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/, but could not find a likely "PA" number, sorry. H. |

It could very well be 1 CACR, notice the WD Number prefix in the lower right hand corner (attached image) is "CT". Cheers

In examining quite a few photos recently I have oly seen the "Kangaroo in a triangle", shown on the hull, on a 49th Kang. The 1CACR seem to have kept to the "Kangaroo in a circle" logo.
