...Beck's interest in militaria started during his wartime childhood in Townsville, where there was a huge Allied military base. "The Australian Army had a camp and firing range on our farm," he says. In the 1950s, while Australians tried to forget about the war, Beck set about ensuring that they wouldn't, buying military vehicles and equipment at knockdown prices.
