In 1991 we had Itlises from SSF HQ&Sigs with us in Kuwait City in CANFORME EOD Tp. They were white on green on white on green. Three years earlier, those same vehicles had been used by a composite Signals Regiment that deployed between Saddam's army and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in 1988. Funny to think that for a short while, it was possible for a UN military force to operate freely and unencumbered in both countries. When the units were returned to Canada, a sausage machine reverted white kit to green. In fall 1990 the One Canadian Field Hospital was stood up, and enough of the other essential fighting and support parts build around them.
