Hi Matt,

The excellent series of books on the Carriers is availible directly from the writer. His website can be found here: http://www.universalcarrierbook.co.uk/

I can highly recommend to buy all three volumes while they last.

Good luck with the first outing and the rest of the restauration.

Cheers,

Default Huntsville Legion Rededication & Drumhead

Guys,

The Huntsville Legion 80th Anniversary celebrations and rededication of it's Universal Carrier were a success! The weather cooperated and the parade was short and sweet! This project has now come full circle. The widow of Robert Boothby, (Black Watch/Royal Highland Regiment - original donator of the carrier) was at the event along with her son and granddaughter. They were impressed along with the general public. It is now stored at the Royal Canadian Legion in Huntsville in it's own enclosure. It is operational and will be run monthly and in seasonal parades.

Now, it is time to restore some CMP's.

Thanks again for all of your wise words, encouragement and advice. Don't lose faith in your projects, they are worth the effort!
