I hate to disappoint you, but none of these ‘formation markings’ pertain to Canadian Army units, they are all in fact for Royal Army Service Corps formations (not Royal Canadian Army Service Corps formations): image 1 - CRASC 1 Tk Tptr Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 1 Tank Transporter Column image 2 - CRASC 2 Tk Tptr Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 2 Tank Transporter Column image 3 - CRASC 20 Tpt Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 20 Transport Column image 4 - CRASC 21 Tpt Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 21 Transport Column image 5 - CRASC 24 Tpt Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 24 Transport Column all of the above are Royal Army Service Corps formations not Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. Cheers

Thanks for putting me straight on the meaning of CRASC.On looking at the few cloth shoulder titles I have for Canadian units I see that the title reads RCASC. Never the less on looking through the book I think I have found three examples of Canadian formation signs. John.

Great examples of tac signs. Now if only a book can be found showing all the Canadian Tac signs illustrated the same way.

Yes, you are correct: image 1 - No. 64 Army Transport Company, R.C.A.S.C. image 2 - No. 85 Bridge Company, R.C.A.S.C. image 3 - No. 86 Bridge Company, R.C.A.S.C. all of which served under Headquarters, Commander First Army Transport Column, R.C.A.S.C. Cheers

Were these signs ever used?

In the booklet printed by the Printing and stationary service, 21st, Army Group there are 88 pages of vehicle formation signs, so they must all be recognised as " official" badges. John.

When was the book published? You can get this from the imprint information on the manual.
Sure the signage was 'recongnized', but this does not necessarily mean they were ever used. Don't ge tme wrong, the book and the images are very interesting, the next step in the process is finding an image of them in use. |

Any ideas as to which unit this is ? Pontonbrugcutout.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...brugcutout.jpg Marc Last edited by Hanno Spoelstra; 26-01-21 at 14:13.
