Any vehicle that went through the hands of RCEME for water proofing for D-Day had the RCEME flag on it, from what I've understood from a article "RCEME Tanks: Then and Now" from the EME Journal.

Yes, but the 'RCEME flag' and a RCEME Arm of Service (AoS) marking, are two completely different things . . .

Default Wow!

A few hours ago I was scratching my head, now I'm spoiled for choice as far as markings go. My sincere thanks to all for their contributions. Any screw-ups from here on are strictly my own fault!
Cheers, Dave

P.S. Mark, guys like you, Doug K. Don D. not to forget Barry, Steve, Ed et. al. should collaborate on the 'ultimate' Canadian cammo & markings book. It would be a shame for the next generation to have to re-learn what you've forgotten. I'd buy the beer but I'm on a pension...

Hmmm, that's the second time I've heard whispers about a 'one stop' book on the subject. BTW, as well as the Serv. Pub. series, I really enjoyed yr 'Churchill Tank' book. Do you ever get down to the Etobicoke/Markham (soon to be Mississauga/Oshawa) militaria shows? Thanks again,
Dave
