WW2 Artillery Vehicle Marking Question
What would the tactical sign for an HUW signals van in an Anti-tank RCA regiment look like circa 1944? Canadasoldiers.ca has markings listed for a towed (ie. field) regiment, that being S2, S3 or S4 on a red over blue rectangle. Would this be the same for anti-tank and anti-aircraft regiments?

Bruce,
I have a History book of the 5th Canadian anti-tank Regiment. There are a few photo's in it with vehicles. I am not sure if it is the type of information you are looking for but some nice photo's. The history book has the units history from Canada to service overseas. If I ever find the time to read a book,this is one I hope to read someday! Regards,Derk

My grandfather served in the 96th Bty, 5th A/Tk Regt. I’ve been trying to collect as much info and history as possible over the years but have not been able to find this specific book in all of my searches. Do you have any leads on where I could look? Photos are another important piece, as I haven’t been able to find many at all of my grandfather - William (Bill) Skelly. Any help/advice would be awesome! Tim |
