Hi Dave,

I have 5 names of Lanchesters used by 2nd battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. They were named after castles, those being Arundel, Blair, Edinburgh, Glamis and Stirling. The AoS I believe was a white 69 on brown.
Hope it helps.

Cheers

Hi Kevin;

Just a note, the serial '68' on brown would have been the AoS marking for the reconstituted 2nd Argylls (ex 15th Argylls) from Aug 1943 onwards (227 (HIghland) Inf Bde/15th (Scottish) Div). In Malaya in 1940, the original 2nd Argylls were the 'British Battalion' in the 12th Indian Infantry Brigade (Sep 1939 to Feb 1942). I have found nothing in regards to AoS markings except for the WD plate and vehicle names being carried on the 2nd Argylls Lanchester Armoured Cars for the period in question.

Cheers
