That would be right. Black Jack vowls (or similar) was my troop S/Sgt. I had the `privilege` or having him as my commander APC `Tobruk`. RSM Stack ruled and I saw him tear into Lawson on one occasion, didn't see Lawson for weeks after. I was 3 troop MT NCO around 66 I think. got my second stripe around 68 and posted as Brigadiers driver HQ 12 Brigade, Barton Stacey. Can recall a few names in 3 troop, Jock Scot, Jock Preston, Earnie Stenninger, Tony Sear, Yorkie Ancliffe, Taff Davies. Not sure you will get this but if you do I hope you are OK.
