Thumbs up

Very generous donation to the SWCS Museum by Mr. Harsey of an Applegate-Fairbairn Knife, a copy of "Kill or Get Killed", and a copy of "The Close Combat Files of Colonel Rex Applegate".

A very nice tribute to Colonel Applegate and an outstanding addition to the Museum Collection.

Thanks, Bill!
