Need Info on WW2 Toronto Scottish Formation Badge

[Mark W. Tonner]

Hi Dean;

Was away most of today so wasn’t able to respond until now. Jordan has answered your question regarding the Formation sign used, but just a note regarding the Arm of Service marking used by the Toronto Scottish Regiment, from approximately May 1943 to February 1944 the Arm of Service marking used by the 2nd Infantry Division Support Battalion (The Toronto Scottish Regiment) was:

Headquarters, 2nd Infantry Division Support Battalion (The Toronto Scottish Regiment) - 64 in white on a black background

4th Infantry Brigade Support Group (The Toronto Scottish Regiment) - 64 in white on a red background

5th Infantry Brigade Support Group (The Toronto Scottish Regiment) - 64 in white on a green background

6th Infantry Brigade Support Group (The Toronto Scottish Regiment) - 64 in white on a brown background

1st Battalion, The Toronto Scottish Regiment (M.G.) was converted & re-designated the 2nd Infantry Division Support Battalion (The Toronto Scottish Regiment) effective 1 May 1943.

2nd Infantry Division Support Battalion (The Toronto Scottish Regiment) was converted & re-designated 1st Battalion, The Toronto Scottish Regiment (M.G.) effective 24 February 1944, after which the Arm of Service marking used was 64 in white on a black background on all unit transport.
