Peter ustinov and tanks info


"In January 1942, I received my call-up papers," Peter ustinov once recalled. "At my selection board interview, I was asked if i had any preferences as to the arm i wished to serve in. I told the Officer I was interested in tanks. His eyes blazed with enthusiasm.
'Why tanks,' he asked keenly. I replied that i prefered to go into battle sitting down. His sparkle faded abruptly and i soon thereafter recieved a letter ordering me to report to an infantry regiment."



Although our task was never easy, it was made less difficult by the patriotism and passionate valour of the Australians, Which served as an example to the whole world, you saved Amiens, you saved France.
