Within a typical Squadron in a Recce Regiment, what vehicles were used and how many were allocated to each Squadron.

Hi Randall;

A couple of questions for you:

- what period are you looking at?
- who's army (Canadian, British, ...) are you looking at?
- do you want the information for a 'Reconnaissance Regiment' or for an 'Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment' or both?

Cheers

Mark, thanks for the quick reply.
I am after both Canadian Reconnaissance Regiment and Canadian Armoured Recce Regiment from '43-45 or thereabouts.
An Aussie friend's dad served with a British Recce Regiment. We are sort of comparing notes on formations and equipment used during WW2.
My Dad served with the 17th Duke of York's Royal Canadian Hussars (7th Recce Regiment, 3rd Div, Royal Canadian Army ) during WW2 and landed in Normandy Dday+5.
Thanks for your help
