Default Markings on Humber

Hi Bill:

The only marking clearly visible is the 1st Cdn Army marking to the right of Gen Crerar.

The vehicle most likely belonged to his HQ (a white "9" in a black rectangle with a white bar underneath) or to one of the armd recce regts; 8 CAR (14th Hussars) or 32 CAR (Royal Montreal Regt (RMR)): a white "41" or "459" respectively on a green over blue rectangle with a white bar underneath.

If it had been a Div or Corps veh it would not have had the 1st Cdn Army formation sign on it. Div troops and Corps troops would use their parent formation markings. (At least in theory... some strange variations have cropped up in photos)

Part of the registration number is visible so someone out there may be able to nail down exactly which veh it is.

Its interesting to note what appears to be a two tone green and brown camouflage.

Cheers, Mike
