If it was a reserve unit recce jeep with a partial or complete squadron they would have still used the 4 for recce.

Hope this helps.

That would make it a British Columbia Regiment jeep.

Hi Stan the plot thickens eh...? It may well have been a BCR vehicle then posted out to Chilliwack. I will try to see if there are any picks of it in the archives at the drill hall on Beatty St. thanks Stan! Hey love to come by and see the toys sometime...Casey
