Hi Maurice;

According to the research done by Tony Vista, located here:http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=10047

T 269916 was issued to "E" Sqn, 25 Cdn Armd Del Regt (II Cdn Corps) from "F" Sqn, 25 Cdn Armd Del Regt (First Cdn Army) on 14 April 1945.

On 24 April 1945, "E" Sqn, 25 Cdn Armd Del Regt (II Cdn Corps) issued T 269916 to "D" Sqn, 25 Cdn Armd Del Regt (4 Cdn Armd Div).

The Arm of Service Serial '52' was used by the 22nd Armoured Regiment (The Canadian Grenadier Guards), C.A.C. (4 Cdn Armd Bde of 4 Cdn Armd Div), so T 269916 may have been issued to the 22 Cdn Armd Regt (CGG) from "D" Sqn, 25 Cdn Armd Del Regt (the armoured delivery squadron attached to 4 Cdn Armd Div) sometime after 24 April 45.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
