Eric,
Thanks for the info. That's a big help. If there's any reference source you can think of where I could find photos of an appropriately marked RHC carrier, that would be great. I've found clear specifications for the unit # on canadiansoldiers.com, but I need specs and a reference image to work from for the leaf on blue field marking. Most images I've seen of carriers have the markings on the front fenders or on the armour plate between the front wheels. Would we be safe in marking the rear fenders similarly? Regards, Matt |

Hello Matt
Black Watch of Canada WW2 vehicle photos are hard to find. Lots from the 1950's and later. I have sent you an e-mail. Thanks Eric

Matt, Just a question, as the Carrier is to be displayed in Huntsville, why the Black Watch? Why not do it up in the infantry regiment from the area, the Algonquin Regiment?

The legion member who donated the carrier to the chapter was in The Black Watch during the war. Family members have told the restoration group that he was a WASP carrier crew member, and likely other carrier types as well.
