I believe he enlisted at Winnipeg as that is where he was raised.
As you can see from the pics, I think the Diamond t photo may have been early, noting the Ram on the trailer, I also think it may have been taken here in Canada. The Mack is obviously in NW Europe, noting the invasion star, 21 army group and 865 on the fender.
Any ideas as to unit etc?

Chris,
I may be mistaken,but is that not the 8th Army shield patch on the left ferder of the Mack,denoting the Italian campaign.My dad was also RCASC in Italy,and I remember him telling me they used to deliver new vehicles from the seaport of Bari,through the mountains to the 1st Div.
