Hmmm, bit of a poser. You didn't upload a pic of his cap badge, which should be of a Cat arching it's back within a circle of maple leaves, yes? Quite often, collar dogs represent the Arm of Service, not the actual regiment the wearer belongs to, but the RCAC badge is of a mailed fist within 4 semi-circular arrows pointing up. The only Canadian armoured regiment that I know of having a Mk IV tank in it's cap badge, and hence possibly as a collar dog was the Essex Regiment (Tank) raised at Windsor, Ontario Dec. 15, 1936 which became the Windsor Regiment (22nd Reconnaissance Regiment) Apr. 4, 1949. I'm no expert but this info might give you some leads to track down. Derek.
