SAR Organisation / Camoflage

[AHickman]

Hi all,

Newish member delurking to ask some questions that I hope some people out there might be able to answer.

I'm a wargamer/Modeller in the UK and having just read D. Graves excellent book on the SAR I have been inspired to try and base a new FOW army on them.

I was wondering what colours they should be painted? Did Canadian armoured unit use the standard green & black camo used by British units or did they have their own schemes?

Secondly, I know that the SAR recieved their first Fireflys in Sept 44, but were they an addition to 3 tank troops, or did they replace a sherman V in 4 tank troops?

Any links or recommendations of further reading would also be greatly appreciated

Thanks in anticipation

Alex Hickman
