    Gee, now your testing my tankie history... TPR Patersons roll occurred allong a creek line during night activity's in the rain. The creek gave way and the Tank went over. TPR Paterson head as caught between 40-odd ton of tank and the creek bed. The creek was rising and every attempt to get TPR Paterson to breath through a MG3 barrel failed.

    There are some good ghost stories involving this tank too. I know you wanna here them.

    I remember one flipping end over bending the gun barrel, quite an achievement. From memory the C/Cdr was killed.

    Should have dropped us a line and came over to Pucka.

    The following are the names of tankies killed in roll overs. SGT Murray was rolled near Pipe Corner if you remember the location Hymie.

    LT MASSEY J K ?
    SGT MURRAY R G 27733
    TPR JORDAN AM ?
    TPR PATERSON A K 27754

    Only one Leopard roll over was not fatal and that was 29391, due to the weight of a Tank, when they go over its very sudden and there is little time to react.

    This is 29391 on it roof,


    Regards Easo
