DIG – LGC

Can anyone rembember the pre-cursor to (Subject Inidcator Groups) SIGs and Subject Inidcator Codes (SICs)  well it was Distribution Indicator Groups (DIGs) and the then Commodore Auckland, Commodore Lawrence ‘Laurie’ George Carr made up his own one LGC.  He was a Long ‘C’ Communicator and later became the Chief of Naval Staff 1971 – 1974.  Here is an image of him when he was Commanding Officer HMNZS IRIRANGI. The image is taken at the ‘Old Camp’ which was located approx 15km south of Waiouru.

A colour picture of HMNZS IRIRANGI below was taken approx 1971 when IRIRANGI moved from its southern location to a location within the Army Training Centre, Waiouru.
