Hamble Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Can anyone help identify the unit 4A.C Squadron that has been engraved below this Centurion Tank Plate?. The plate looks to be a bring back by a crew member who served in Korea 51-52. Many thanks Alex Edited February 22, 2020 by Hamble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 With a bit of help from Google: Meanwhile, in September 1952 another tank squadron was raised. This was known as Nucleus Squadron and, based in Holsworthy, New South Wales, with the purpose of forming the basis of a second tank unit which was to be named the 2nd Armoured Regiment. In 1954 the regiment received it first Ferret MK 1 Scout Car, enabling the raising of Reconnaissance Troop. The following year 1st Armoured Regiment received the Saracen Armoured Personnel Carrier, and it was at this time that the intention to form another tank unit was abandoned, and Nucleus Squadron subsequently returned to the regiment as its third squadron, designated C Squadron.
