I am currently prepping the vehicle to head outside for storage by changing the oils in the gearboxes (well, water mostly to be honest, but soon to be oil again) and before stowing all the small parts back into the vehicle, thought I would reveal the markings from the infantry school. There were about 5 schools in central command, so I was really hoping for a number. Sadly all that was there was the RCSofI marking.
The central command shield shows no sign of the castle, which came later I believe. The 1947 manual just shows a red shield, which was all I found in the 3 locations where the shield was found on this T-16.
No doubt though that in the end the artillery markings will take priority upon restoration. We are Canada's National Artillery Museum after all.
