C Sdn Elgin R
Me thinks Geoff's assumption that This chap was seconded to "C" Sdn Elgin's from the Ontario Regt is an accurate one.I have a great deal of stuff From Maj.F.O. (BEAR) Lewis and recall a St Thomas newspaper article describing a wait off the shore of Normandy for him to land C sdn.Bear Lewis at that time was O.C of C Sdn which was tasked to resupply 2nd Armoured Brigade on D+1. There was a delay and C sdn did not land until the 8th.This sounds familiarly like the story told above. Which insignia specifically are you looking for? I can emails of scans of these units at your request.
Cheers,Mike Reintjes.
