Default Certificate of Appreciation

Gents,

I've been awarded a Certificate of Appreciation from the Royal Australian Armoured Corps in recognition for my 'lengthy and significant' contribution to recording the history of the Corps. It is signed by both the Hon. Colonel, Roger Powell, and current Head of Corps, John McKenzie.

So pretty pleased to say the least!

Mike C

That's excellent Mike!

It should go "straight to the pool room".

Well done Mike, I'm sure anyone with an Aust carrier has at least 1 copy of your book. I know I have 2. I used the pictures of the AP 3" Mortar carrier I made as some of my reference.
Congratulations.
Colin.
