Description
An M543, 5 ton wrecker of 106 Field Workshops, Royal Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RAEME). The plaque on the grill was awarded to the sappers by members of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment for recovering an M113A1 APC, in difficult circumstances, after being damaged by a mine in the vicinity of Xyuen Moc. Unfortunately the plaque was later stolen.
