Otter, I do recall the incident, it was the skeleton of a hand I believe -can't pin down the date exactly - but I do remember it being reported in the Stag.

I do not recall any incident involving a hand. Actually, looking back through my photos both of these variants are Mk. III's which makes them even rarer. If a hand was found in one of them, it was nearly dust considering the age....or relatively new. Which is it I wonder?

Otter, do you remember which of those German tanks they found a hand in? I think it was around 1965 - 66. I have it in my mind that it was a very early model tank.

Bernie, your memories of Shilo are incorrect. The only vintage WW2 German tanks there were a Sturmgeshutze Mk. IV and an L70 Mk. IV "Lang". Both are early versions and extremely rare. I do hope they are trying to restore them to a proper historical condition. There was never a Panther there. I would have wet my pants if that was the case. Just inside the gates was a 155mm artilery piece and a smaller gun I think was a 75mm. They've never had an 88 on display there.

In Gunnery Park on Royal Ave. were (initialy) two late model Grizzlys, but once the Germans moved in these were both replaced with Leopard A1A2's and outside the Officer's Mess they placed a modern Sturm "Kannone". What has happened to these I'm not sure, but I certainly hope all of them recieve the respect and care that is due them.

When they talked about taking down our PEPS I salvaged a piece of our history for all Shilo Brats. I have in my office in Shilo the monument from the front doors that has the date 1951 on it.

One of our very own shilobrats, GREG GREENE, is a published author of two novels which I bought from Amazon.com. The first two in a series called NEWTON'S LAW, the first, SOMEONE'S CHILD was a great read! and now I'm half way through the second novel, THE LAST IMAM, and I have to tell you that I just can't put it down!!! Fantastic work Greg....can't wait for the third.
