Hi Anzaks,
This is a shield presented to me by the MTO Maj Bob ......... during a visit to his mess.
Brings back happy memories and a wry smile when I remember how much we drank during this visit.
I thought it may be of interest.

Cheers
Keith

 

Very nice shield Keith.

You are not insinuating that Aussies liked a drink are you?

 

A very nice piece of memorabilia, I'm glad it is in the hands of someone who'll look after it.
Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, ANZUK's a quaint take on the olden day ANZAC's. What years was that unit in Singapore, at a guess the 1950's and 60's,

 

By gee I must have lived a sheltered life. I have heard of ANZUK before - but it sure sounds good
:noidea:

 

Hi All,

To try and check when I got the plaque, I entered " ANZUK Medical & Dental Equiptment Depot,
Singapore" and discovered an assotment of marvelous sites.
"http://digger history.info/pages"
"Military Abbreviations & acronyms, Australian & N.Z.
Another was "WHEN THE WAR IS OVER - LET THE BATTLE BEGIN" comes up as a Word Doc.
geoff would be interested if not already seen.

Cheers
Keith
ps. the plaque was presented to me in Rhinedallen, during Ex. Plainsailing 1969.
