Black Watch of Canada, vehicle unit Markings ww2

[servicepub (RIP)]

Aiden,
This is probably Queen's Own Rifles on D-Day but I don't have the actual caption material or date of the photograph. The QOR also used the Arm of Service (AoS) number '60' but their yellow/gold Maple Leaf was painted on a rectangle of French Grey (bleu d'horizon).
In any event it will show you placement of the markings.

Clive, that picture is QOR's. By the time 2nd Div landed a month later the beach had somewhat become less hostile.

Aidan, from my memory, the maple leaf would either be yellow or gold. If early war it would have a C with II superimposed on the maple leaf.

Ah, so it's not a driver training issue then?

Hi Aidan;

To give you an idea of the placement on the rear of the carrier the photo below is of a right side up carrier of the Highland Light Infantry of Canada (England, 19 May 1944), although a unit of the 3 Cdn Inf Div, the photo shows where the Arm of Service and Formation signs go on the carrier rear.

I think Mr. HAKO-OJA needs to sit down for a minute and reread the rules to this forum before posting anouther one of his messages.

Funny how one person can criticise but others can't . Anyway I think it's time to drop it already.

There is a difference between a heated discussion and abusive comments. Apparently Mr. HAKO-OJA does not have the ability to understand the difference.

Criticise all you like, but childish, school-yard name calling is beyond what this forum is suppose to be about.
