Vehicle Convoy Flags

[Eric B]

Hello

I remember our unit had a yellow nylon flag in the glove box as well as the collision report, DND parking sign and contact list for recovery as well as the work ticket.

We used the DND parking sign to avoid paying bridge or Hwy tolls. If you didn't check before you left you had to pay out of pocket and good luck trying to get reimbursed. It meant you didn’t do a proper first parade.

This was in the M38A1, M151, 5/4 ton, etc. from the early 1980's. I suspect that they had been around much earlier.

Even though we had them, I have never seen them used here in Canada.

I have a set of all three flags in plastic bags, with the orders... but of course can't find them as they are packed away safe somewhere. (Sorry not for sale)

Thanks
Eric
