Thank you for sharing, ex Gunner 1967-86, Abbot 105mm SPG. Kleine Panzers as the locals in Gutersloh called them!

My grandfather served with the RASC in North Africa in ww2. Wasn't just the Germans and the Italian's they were fighting, but the heat and the flies.

My grandfather was in the ASC (as it was) in WWI, served at Gallipoli. He was a mechanic by trade.

My Grandfathers did too, one Royal Signals, North Africa; the other 8th Army, RASC in North Africa. He started driving a 'Quad' towing 25pdr guns. The first went to Italy but was injured & returned to the UK. The second also fought in Italy, France, Netherlands & Germany - still RASC, but as a dispatch rider.

Ridiculace as it may seem the gunnery sand table was still being used in the late 70,s with a .22 calibre rifle being cocked and fired from the top of the SIM trainer at small static rubber tank targets or being moved around by wires attached to small motors. Archaic to say the least.

The clip of the knights in armour at the begining is from the 1944 ( I think) Olivier Film Henry V ,,,, swot mode off.

Those rolls Royce armored cars worked very well against civilians, both in India and North Ireland, but not in Afghanistan.
