749 Company Plaque
This shield may bring back a few memories from anyone who served on the Berlin Airlift. These shields were produced my a very enterprising German, who was employed as a aircraft loading labourer. If you notice that under my name, something has been scratched out. The wording there was I think, 3 AASO. We in 749Coy at the time, resented this, as we all thought, that it was us, in 749 Coy who should be the only ones mentioned. In hindsight now, of course, I for one, now realise the significance of 3 AASO, and the organisation that they represented.
