I am an artist trying to do a painting for my uncle who is a WW2 veteran. I am doing a painting of the insignias of the groups he worked with. My uncle was a Quartermaster SGT. in the Ontario Tank, he said he supplied the Fort Garry Horse, The 1st Hussars, The Sherbrooke Fusiliers and Calgary Tank. He is getting old, and his memory is not what it used to be. I want to make sure Ihave the right Information. He went in on D-Day +3. Any help would be much appreciated.

davlew25;
From what you've said above, your uncle may have served with "C" Squadron, 25th Canadian Armoured Delivery Regiment (The Elgin Regiment) who landed in Normandy early on the morning of D+2 (8 Jun). "C" Squadron were the Armoured Delivery Squadron for the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade which consisted of the following Armoured Regiments:
6th Canadian Armoured Regiment (First Hussars)
10th Canadian Armoured Regiment (Fort Garry Horse)
27th Canadian Armoured Regiment (Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment)
Hope this helps.
What is your uncle's name, I have a nominal roll for the Elgins 1939-45.
Cheers
