Hi Don;

In regards to your question "which RCEME units", 'technicaly' the answer is none. The Light Aid Detachment attached to the 12th Field Regiment, R.C.A. was No. 32 Light Aid Detachment (Type B), R.C.O.C. Also, at the Divisional level would have been attached from Army Troops, No. 3 Infantry Troops Workshop, R.C.O.C.

Both units, No. 32 L.A.D. (B), R.C.O.C. and No. 3 Inf Tps Wksp, R.C.O.C. were never allocated to the Corps of Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, they both remained Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps.
