Sorry for resurrecting a decade old thread, but have a question about the markings for the Sherbrooke regiment.
Is there any known reason why the formation and unit signs are not visible in the period photos/stills of the action around Authie and Buron of June 7 1944?
Did they not have time to apply them, an order not to use them, bad film reproduction, or something else?
Any ideas what the numbering scrawled on the front here represents - loading info or was this something the Germans put on after this Vc was knocked out?
regards,
Jack
