"ARMADILLO" passes by a newsreel camera at speed, somewhere in Holland.

This image was captured from a two-second clip seen late in the movie PATTON (starring George C. Scott), by Michael Dorosh in Alberta. Is this a British or Canadian Kangaroo? Does anyone recognize the name, and if so, who were the crew?

Note the handrail welded to the upper hull by the turret ring, no doubt installed to assist the heavily-laden infantry to climb aboard. This "accessory" has long been hinted at, but seldom seen.

We hope to have more stills from this clip shortly, and will publish them as soon as they're available; in the meantime, if you can think of any similar video clips from any old movie, let us know! We will endeavour to capture them for the benefit of our readers, and for our Regimental Archives.
