Can Anyone help with these markings? They are of a C15TA, I believe belonging to the LAD detachment of HQ Squadron 1st CACR. The 79th Bull's head is in the centre with the 31st armoured brigade sign beside it. The Regimental 157 however appears to have been painted over another sign , possibly 1st Canadian Army.Firstly can anyone confirm this and secondly would the vehicle have carried another sign on the other wing ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I have found one reference to what looks identical to the div sign you show on the truck but it is 79th Armoured Division (Red horn tips and nostrils, yellow field.)

I have emailed James directly with a variety of photos detailing this unusual AoS sign. I thought I would share the outcome of those emails...
The war diaries only mention officially painting the Numerals "157" over bars of green and blue. However, photogrpahs I have collected from various sources also show "B" vehicles using a maple leaf shape surrounding the AoS. It is also in evidence that the green and blue bars were not always painted in? Bill. |

Further to the discussion is a detail of the 1CACR Medical Officer's (Capt. MacLeod) Jeep.
