RCCS and insignia
Hello Jon et al,
The official abbreviation for the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals appears to have been R.C.C.S. (as listed in Appendix to RO No 1862, 1942.) The formation insignia during WW II did not use any other abbreviation that I can find. The shoulder titles and greatcoat titles appear to have worn R.C.Signals white on blue, while the khaki summer and winter issue shoulder slip-ons were R.C.C.S. Short abbreviated titles with R.C.C.S. in white on blue may have been worn on greatcoats and brassards. It appears that the fully spelled out titles, Royal Canadain Signals weren't issued until post-war, but I may stand correrted on this. I have not found any photo evidence of the Royal Canadain Signals titles on WWII tunics.
