Hello, I have been on your site numerous times in the past, but felt I should join. I am a Sgt in the Canadian Army Reserves, and have a passion for WWII history. I have restored an 1942 M3 Diamond-T Halftrack, it was the CP of the South Alberta Regiment in WWII. It survived the war and was returned to Canada after the fighting. The South Alberta's were our predecessor Regiment, I am currently serving with the South Alberta Light Horse, an Armoured Recce Reserve Regiment located in Edmonton and Medicine Hat, Alberta.(Medicine Hat is near BATUS). I am currently assisting with the restoration of a 1944 T16 Universal Carrier, it is marked as a carrier from the VIII Recce regiment which was the recce unit for the 2nd Canadian Division in WWII. I also collect WWII militaria and equipment. I have a number of uniforms, quite a few live and deactivated weapons. I also participate in a shooting sport called Cowboy Action Shooting, or CAS, I compete with blackpowder and reload my own ammunition. Look forward to posting more in the future. Cheers, Rob
