Crushed Iltis
Dear Phil,
So happens that the Combat Team commander shows up at the scene and starts laughing. Nobody hurt he says ? Ah , just another Iltis from the Reserves going to the scrap yard.His 2ic , a captain says to him : No Sir, that was YOUR Jeep ! Then Major Semeniah eventualy became Lt General and commanded the Senior Staff School were i eventualy became a student this year. I did not , repeat DID NOT rermind him of the incident ! As for the pile of paperwork , i did not get to see it. I was on a tight schedule , took the airplane back east and left that to the adjudant to complete...  Robert

When I visited Cyprus in the mid 80s, (as a member of the CFE Pipes and Drums) I seem to recall there were M38a1...although I really wasn't paying attention much at the time..and the band had a tendency to be thirsty....a lot...almost all the time..
Also several M-113...and of course patrols along the green line passed the car dealership with several brand new..but aging and very very dusty cars sitting there. Forget the brand, but I dont recall that they'd be of great interest to collectors.. The Ledra Palace was really a wreck, with ropes in the staircase to prevent people from falling over the railings and seriously injuring themselves or dying. ..alhtough the pool was nice...especially late at night when invaded by somewhat tipsy band members..but not for long as we were discovered ( I guess we were whispering more like Homer Simpson.) and told in no uncertain terms to ...well you can imagine One thing that I inquired about was the wood batons in the jeeps... "puppy pounders" I was told... problem with wild dogs attacking the jeeps when out on patrol and the clubs were to whack them if they got too close Question: where can one get the red warning decals for the antenna mounts?
