Default 56

A red square with a white 56 is used by the second battalion in the senior brigade of an infantry or airborne division. This true for both Canadian and British units. The red square with the white 55 is the 1st battalion of the same brigade. On the other side of the vehicle would be a patch that indicates which division the vehicle belonged to.
