Hi Adame;

The first thing you would have to do is to find out if in fact the ‘Lorne Scots’ actually had an entitlement to ‘carriers’. The Lorne Scots never fought as an infantry ‘Rifle’ battalion throughout the period of the Second World War, instead they were dispersed throughout the army overseas in Company (Protective Company for Corps HQ and Defence Company for Army HQ) and Platoon (Defence & Employment Platoon for Brigade HQ) strength and also for a time as ‘divisional employment platoons’.

The only sub-unit of the Lorne Scots that may have had an entitlement to carriers would have been the ‘Protective Company’ for Corps HQ (27 August 1940 to 31 December 1945) and the ‘Army Headquarters Defence Company’ for First Canadian Army HQ (1 April 1942 to 12 April 1944).
