17th Duke of yorks RCH & practical questions

[Phil Tonin]

Hi all,
I'm new here and have been reading this forum with a lot of interest. I have searched the forum about the 17th Duke of Yorks Royal Canadian Hussars (7th Recce) and still have many questions.

What was the difference, in terms of objectives and missions, between a Recce Regiment like the 17th Duke of Yorks and an Armoured Recce regiment such as the South Albertas (beside the difference in the vehicles used) ?
Except the hand guns in use, did it happen that members of Recce Regt like 17 DYRCH had individual stens or Enfield n°4 for their personal protection?
Eventually, I have a very minute question about their BD: has anyone an idea if the 17DYRCH shoulder title worn by that time was also woven/embroidered?

Aside from Walter G. Pavey's AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT of the 7th Canadian Reconnaissance Regiment (17th DUKE OF YORK'S ROYAL CANADIAN HUSSARS) in the World War 1939 – 1945 , is there any other book about that regiment? I've seen many websites but there are very little info on it.

Thanx for the help.

Phil
