Kangaroos



Know any Kangaroos??
The 1st Canadian Armoured Personnel Carrier Regimental Association is
looking for former members of the 1CAPC, the 123LAD (RCOC attached) and the
1CAPC Sigs Sqdn. The 1CAPC was unique in being the only Regiment which was
formed, fought and disbanded outside of Canada.
A tribute was established in Holland last year on a private initiative and
in Canada we are tryng to establish another memorial. The Kangaroos were RAM
tanks*, with the turret removed. These then functioned as battlefield taxis.
As part of the British 79th Div they were the first complete Canadian
fighting unit in Germany.
Any names and addresses can be passed to me for forwarding to the newly
formed association.
Thnx,
Clive M. Law
 *The original Squadron used US-made Priest SP with the gun removed, hence
the nick-name 'unfrocked' priests.
