Jeep Marking - postwar
 

Hi

Can anyone identify the ship symbol on the attached photo? Leading guess right now is Camp Utopia. The fellow I'm posting the question for has found the remains of the same symbol under a layer of paint on one of his M38s. Looks like a white sailing ship profile on a blue circle

Any help appreciated. :)

regards
Darrell

Darrell, it is the formation marking of Military District No. 7 (Eastern Command), which encompassed all of the Province of New Brunswick.

Hi Mark

Thank you for that. I thought there was a seven there but didn't want to skew any answer.

Congrats on your 3K post too. :)

Do you know what time period it was in use?

Thanks again.

regards
Darrell

Darrell, it was used from approximately mid - 1943 to early - 1947, and I didn’t realize that I’d hit the 3K mark :blink:

Cheers

Hi Mark

Thank you for the dates. Big help.

And yup; you're that old!!! :D

. . . I knew that . . . :salute:

Infact that was on the rear of a 42 slat grill.

Hi again

Would anyone know the colours of that MD7 crest?

...or a good colorized image.
