No, that is not a misspelling of armour. It's the way the English spell it. And I am writing today about the course I was sent to in 1971 after the Armor Advanced Course at Fort Knox.
It was an interesting course in that it was much different from the normal courses we had in the US Army at the time. This one was very technical. It was a 13-month course, from January 1971 to February 1972. I found some old documents about it as I was cleaning old files. The first was a packet containing copies of all the examinations we had to take during the first eight weeks of school. We had to pass them all or we would not be able to continue on. There were 30 officers in the program: 24 British, 3 Australian, 2 American, and 1 Canadian. We lost only Brit from the exams.
