Kangaroo Guidon Ceremony Sept 10/2011

[Michael Reintjes]

Good Day

We are planning another inspiring event here in St.Thomas that will involve old military green stuff. Knowing that you have graciously supported these types of event in the past,,, We like to have some WW2 vehicles to be on parade with us, i.e. jeeps Scout Car, Command Car, and possibly Bren gun Carriers which have to be in good safe running order since the vehicle will carrying passengers. The event organizers will be hopefully supplying or covering some of the fuel costs, or provide some transport to haul vehicles to this event.



I been tasked, to locate some well Trained & Equipped Canadian WW 2 military re-enactors to help with the Presentation of the Guidon to ” 1st Canadian Armoured Personal Carrier Regiment”, known as the Kangaroo Regt of the Second World War. The Kangaroos were formed, served and disbanded in North West Europe.



The WW2 Type vehicles will be driven on a closed Parade route that will be escorted by police through St.Thomas for a Freedom of the City Parade that will be carrying veterans and re-enactors’.


Any post WW2 vehicles are also welcomed to carry some of the younger vets.



This once in a life time event is planned for September 10, 2011. We are issue more details, once we have idea what vehicles and re-enactors are consider attending, Please responded if interested or forward your contact information.
Thanks
