Australian 2/4th Armoured Regiment Bougainville. Were any matilda frogs assigned to this Regiment? I know we didn't play together very well at Bougainville, but I wanted to do a Diorama showing a Matilda frog, M3A1, and a M4A2 all together. All I can find reference to are frogs in Boreno with the 2/1.

Thanks for any help,
Bob

G'day Bob,
I have also looked for this and can not find anything on the frog with 2/4. Does it have to be a frog?
A gun car would be the go.

Hi Jason and thanks for the reply. I have the frog conversion and wanted to kill 3 birds with 1 stone. Thanks for the help.

Bob...Visited Puckapunyal tank museum today, and they have a Frog on display... Had my CPU not packed it in last week, I would have seen your post and known your interest and asked someone there for you...
Sorry!
Cheers
