Worthy: The History of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps

This exhibit, presented by the Canadian Tank Museum, explores the history of one of Canada’s most storied fighting forces, the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps (RCAC), and its founder, Major-General Frederic Franklin Worthington. In this exhibit, visitors will discover how Canada’s tank and armoured vehicle units have evolved from cavalry and armoured cars in the First World War to some of the world’s most advanced main battle tanks and fighting vehicles that protected Canadian troops in Afghanistan. They also will learn how “Worthy,” as his troops knew him, had a massive impact on the fighting prowess and professional skills of the Canadian Army’s armoured units and why he remains at the centre of their history, identity, and culture.

This exhibit is funded by the Government of Canada.
