Michael, now that is a gold mine of info you have provided, really appreciate that.
On seeing the photo of the two carriers, the first one has a tactical marking within which is M5. The numbering does seem to indicate M represents the 3rd platoon, while 5 represents the fifth vehicle as set out in this document: http://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oo...88/536?r=0&s=5 oocihm.lac_reel_t12688_data_sip_data_files_0536.jpg.jpg So far so good, as the CanadianSoldiers site also illustrate the 3" carrier mortar being the no.3 platoon: https://www.canadiansoldiers.com/tac...ybattalion.htm What's throwing me is the tactical marking in the photo is in the shape of a HQ unit. So essentially the support company is an HQ unit (with it's own HQ) found within the Company HQ of the battalion. regards, Jack
