Some Sth Vietnam snippets from documents.

So had 112-335  been to SVN?
I noticed the link to an AWM doc.

[Carzee]

No, keep your fingers crossed. I can't see a AWM ref there. 335, 336, 337 are still blanks.
Its there with others just on the list waiting for a hit. It helps me if I'm familiar with some remlr-forum-frequent- flyer-related-ARNs as I go back and forth with entries. So.. sorry the answer is "wait, out."

As to the new data, yes the master dbase should be able to handle it and grow with the .pdf refs and photo refs. There are trailer and Acco ARNs and a years work.

Thanks Ross. When you say 'master dbase', are you referring to the REMLR database ?

Cheers,

Pete

Master Dbase sounds like something off Dr Who. Or a doof doof band name. Yeahhhh.

Yes, I am learning to drive the Master Dbase as well at the moment.
Php is not my thing. Spreadsheets are dinosaurs but I like what I know as does everyone. I'm the guy pedalling a 9 speed bike because I know how to adjust and tweak it ...but everyone else has upgraded to 18 speeds.

What is the reason for the AWM reference listed with the ARN's.

My ARN 114 349 has two AWM references next to it but I am buggered if I can find a reference to my vehicle in either document. Also, you have my REMLR  number listed against 114 359.

Other than that, I applaud your efforts and look forward to seeing the results of your hard work in the future.

Good Luck Mate.

Just checked my version of the file. Nothing there. See below. You are the second member getting errors when you look at it. Pretty strange.




Just as well we have the master dbase...

Just matched another ARN to docs. Thats 4 hits and we haven't really been forensic yet.

 Cookey should be happy after this weekends events at Corowa, but when he sees this, hope it makes his smile even bigger - one of his FFR Land-Rovers, 137-333, was in Vietnam.

When you have a lot of olive drab Landys you'd have to get a hit or two...

And so it is: found 114-313 in SVN as 1ALSG Postal Unit in Oct 1970. Thats his beloved 109 Panel van

Thats 2 for Cookey so far....

His 17 const Mk 3 is also a Vietnam vet, so that makes 3.

Here's a snip from 1RAR diary of Dec 65. This is their allocation of vehicles. 12 x 88in, 8 x 109in, 4 x Acco.

That latest document looks very American, with its references to:
HHC - (Headquarters and Headquarters Company)  - a term only used by the US
Plat Ldr - our equivalent and always expressed this way, is Pl Comd
Commo - Comms
XO - 2IC
S3 - Ops Officer

I would guess that as 1 RAR was under the operational command of 173 Airborne Brigade (US) this document originated with the Yanks.

Interesting that they had 6 x 1/4t trailers.

Hi Jack

Could it be that the form, as you suggest, originates with the septics, so our 1/2 ton trailers (No.5) are included as 1/4 Ton, there being no field for 1/2 Ton trailers.

Notice the M-274 listed for HQ and Med, after our recent discussion of the Haflinger.

It also seems that someone cant add up.  the colums and totals don't correlate? ? ? ? ?

Diana

[mzungumagic]

You're probably correct, Diana - the bigger organisation imposes its processes on the smaller.

I think the M274 is a Mule, which implies the Aid Sta (RAP) was allocated a Mule towing a mortar and that's curious.

The bottom line states, "Rifle Coy (x 3) which states that the Bn comprised of 3 Rifle Coys, and each Coy was allotted 1 veh for its CO and one for its Supply (Q store).

Hi Jack

Yes you're correct is the Mechanical Mule, we had this discussion last week when people were discussing if the Haflinger actually went to Vietnam, haffy enthusiasts and Wikipedia believed it did but so far no actual evidence like a photo or a document has come to light.  I thought it may have been people confusing the M-274 with the Haflinger.

Hi Glen

There is still seems a lot more than 25 vehicles on that page, unless trailers are not counted.
