    It's interesting it took to September to get a lot of the CRUSADER awards into the Gazette. British awards were much quicker. I'm guessing it was all processed in India?

    The vehicles are universal carriers?

    All the best

    Thanks idler, I even tapped in the exact date on CWGC and did not get Singh's file.

    Many thanks

    I'm ashamed to say that I did the first time...
