Canadian Armoured Corps Memorial Sculpture

This sculpture, “TROOPER”, depicts an Armoured Corps Trooper holding up an Armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) round as he would in handing up such a round to another crewman in the turret to re-stock the ammunition bins in the Centurion tank. The knowledgeable viewer can tell this man is a tank crewman without a tank present, with the uniform and accoutrements circa 1979. A copy was presented in 1979 to the School of Armour Combat Training Centre at CFB Gagetown as the official Armoured Corps Centerpiece. It is dedicated to current and past members of the Canadian Armoured Corps.
