Dutch flag in Canadian tank
A few years ago I received a partially burned very old red / white / blue flag. I think the Dutch national flag. This flag I got from an old man who had experienced the liberation of Apeldoorn. This flag was then rescued from a burning Canadian tank at the battle of Apeldoorn April 17, 1945. On the flag is the following imprint: ARTHUR & ??????, 1942 and the "Broad Arrow". Does anyone know what the purpose of this flag was in a Canadian tank, along with the text mentioned above. Did every Canadian tank have this standard on board?
