Hello Ben,

Glad to see you and Martin are progressing enough to start thinking about markings!

I may have some more pictures of that contract, please remind me, as I'm very bizzy at the moment.

Cheers,

Lex

Now we've changed gears...marking wise. The divisional flash is on the side car and the unit sign is on the fuel tank. The sign is a white 57 on red, indicating the third battalion in the first brigade of an infantry division. If the division sign is blue (2nd Division), the unit is the Essex Scottish. If Red (1st Division) it would be the 48th Highlanders or if grey (3rd Division) the Canadian Scottish. The CC census number has been moved from a vertical plate right to the fender itself.

Many thanks for your help Bruce and Lex! Very much appreciated. Another question if you wouldn't mind helping out? We are slightly concerned that all of the photos we have seen so far of this division shows that they all had the Motley Bren Gun Mount- would this have been the case or would some have had just the normal seat? If they all had the Motley Mount we may change tact to having the markings of the CTS. We have a picture of a Big 4 in these markings again within close range of our Census number without the need for the Motley Mount.

Many thanks again!
Ben
