Prince Rupert Regiment MG

[Shayne]

Excellent.
ANY information would be welcome.

Initially I was going to mark the truck as King's Own Calgary (I have two uncles who served in that regiment... in the same tank in fact) and use my father's birthday as the registration number (4111927) on the door but after learning my father was in the military I may do the truck that way.

I realize any of these will be completely inaccurate to the actual vehicle but for me a family tribute is far more important than historical accuracy specific to a vehicle.

My Uncle John, who is still living, was a DonR for the Calgary Tanks until around Ortona where he became a driver in a Honey Recce. When the unit transfered to NWE in 1945 he recieved a new Recce tank, this time turreted. My Uncle George who was with the 7th Medium Artillery asked for a transfer and became John's co-driver. Unfortunately my father and Uncle George have passed away but I hope to have the truck presentable for Uncle John to see.
