Hi Bill;
The simple answer:
The Recce Regts (1st, 2nd & 3rd Inf Divs) - were wheeled (and/or carrier) borne
The Armd Recce Regts (4th & 5th Armd Divs) - were tank (track) borne
the Recce Regts:
4th Reconnaissance Regiment (4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards), C.A.C. - 1st Inf Div
8th Reconnaissance Regiment (14th Canadian Hussars), C.A.C. - 2nd Inf Div
7th Reconnaissance Regiment (17th Duke of York's Royal Canadian Hussars), C.A.C. - 3rd Inf Div
the Armd Recce Regts:
29th Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (The South Alberta Regiment), C.A.C. - 4th Armd Div
