Hi Richard;

Unless Paul found another Arm of Service marking painted over that of the ‘459' serial, it is highly unlikely that the carrier was used in ‘action’. The 32nd Reconnaissance Regiment (Royal Montreal Regiment), C.A.C. was converted and re-designated the First Army Headquarters Defence Company (Royal Montreal Regiment) and reallocated to the Canadian Infantry Corps from the Canadian Armoured Corps effective 12 April 1944, whereupon they would have adopted the AoS marking of serial ‘9' on a black background with a 2-inch white bar beneath denoting ‘Army Troops’.

Cheers
