Canadian WC52 1944

[Nick T236]

Hi,
can anyone help
I am booked into several parades in Normandy2014 particularly Bayeux (British and Canadian vehicles only) and need to put correct division markings on my vehicle, particularly as I do not wish to offend any veterans present.
My dodge appears to be the earliest 'wide bodied' I can find possibly March 1944 from various opinions and details.
It shows signs of having been waterproofed for deep water wading.
The only markings taken from a similar vehicle which are original are 41 Division Royal Armoured Corps ( white numbers on black background)
I favour 2nd armoured Canadian wide were at Juno Beach.
I am also short on time.

Unfortunately WC 52s were not used by the Canadian Army in Normandy.

Just check some of the other posts on this forum which discussed vehicle. Unfortunately you have a Canadian manufactured vehicle that really did not see any wartime service with Canada. This vehicle type did see some post-WWII service with the Canadian Army in Canada.

Sadly, this is not what you wanted to hear.

when the Dodge's arrived in 1945 in Antwerp , they where donated to the Dutch , Norwegian , and Italian army, most Dutch dodges went to the conflict in Indonesia.

I still think the Dodge in the Hamilcar glider at operation Varsity is a Canadian dodge.
