Canadian markings

[Ron Pier]

My friend has acquired a WLC Harley which came with these markings. Can anyone shed some light on what they represent. It also has MP markings. Regards Ron

I can check my Canadian military motorcycle books at home and see if they have anything.

Hi, The tank markings indicate 1st. Canadian Army. Mudguard markings show the vertical colours of Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps with the figure 40 indicating headquarters element. White horizontal bar indicates Corps troops attached to the Division/Army.

Hope this helps,

Ian

Ron, my 2¢ worth - The formation sign on the fuel tank, is that of the First Canadian Army, the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps Arm of Service marking (with the white bar above denoting Corps Troops) on the mudguard (fender) is purely artistic impression and does not relate to any known Canadian vehicle marking, and as you said, the bike also carries Military Police (Provost Corps) markings, so, all of the markings found on the bike, don’t actually represent any particular Canadian unit.
