Ian;
- Serial 277, the 1st Mechanical Transport Vehicle Reception Depot, RCASC, was embodied (at Toronto, Ontario, in Military District No. 2) effective 1 September 1939, and was disbanded in the UK, effective 10 June 1943.
- Serial 277, the 1st Mechanical Transport Vehicle Reception Depot, RCASC, went overseas in Convoy T.C. 3, and disembarked over the period of 8/9 February 1940, and was established at Bordon Camp, Hampshire, UK, where they remained until disbanded in June 1943.
Also, the formation sign should have the ‘CII’ device (
in black) in the centre of the maple leaf, for late 1940/1941. An example of the ‘CII’ device is attached, and also one ‘in use’ image (left fender of the carrier)
Hope this helps.
Cheers
