Default Re: Markings - White Scout Car

Russell; Regarding Mkgs on White Scout Cars,

If any markings, they would have carried the following:

- Arm of Service
- Formation Sign
- WD Number
- Sqn/Bty
- bridge classification

Regarding the Allied white star, if used, most were the plain white star on the vehicle sides, between the drivers/co-drivers doors and the rear wheel-wells, closer to the wheel-wells, than doors. On the engine hood, if used, plain white star or white encircled star. Have attached a picture of Whites' of the Lake Superior Regiment prior to Operation TOTALIZE. Its not a very good or clear picture, but if you look closely, you can make out the allied stars on some of the cars, note - some have them, others do not.

Hope this helps

Cheers
