Following this link back and the other links, there is mention of research by Tony Viste in 2007 with a now defunct link. Does anyone know where this research is now?

With respect Fireflies and the Canadian army - see attached - which suggests 60 were allocated with 45 going to regiments and 15 reserve.

It is possible that Maurice's IC was in the reserve stock... certainly my VC appears to have arrived in NWE in Jan 45 and been passed from one delivery regiment to another until being issued to 21st CAR at the start of April 45 (possibly a replacement after losses in the Hochwald gap).

To be sure about Maurice's I suspect it needs to be tracked back through the records with the Elgin Regiment
