Does anyone know if my guesses for other abbreviations are correct:
2 CGRU – 2nd Canadian Group Repatriation Unit?
11 CDN Repat – 11 Canadian Repatriation Unit?
3 Repat – 3rd [Canadian] Repatriation Unit?
4 CRD – 4th [Canadian] Repatriation Unit?

Chris, some answers . . .

3 CACRU = 3rd Canadian Armoured Corps Reinforcement Unit
1 CARU = No. 1 Canadian Artillery Reinforcement Unit (Field)

2 CGRU = No. 2 Canadian General Reinforcement Unit, Type "B"
11 CDN Repat = No. 11 Canadian Repatriation Depot, Type "T"
3 Repat = No. 3 Canadian Repatriation Depot, Type "S"
4 CRD = No. 4 Canadian Repatriation Depot, Type “S”

Cheers
