Need info on military markings

[Jon Skagfeld]

M37s and M152s, apart from the "Flaming Arsehole" ( Mob Com) insignia, would still have had Unit and Formation signs, at least for a few years after their introduction...1952 onwards.

i.e. in Ontario, the white Martello tower in a red shield was placed right rear and left front, and the Unit sign was place left rear and right front.

Dose somebody no were y could get a photo of all the markings!
When y was scraping the paint on the M37 tailgate y found more markings!
blue and white square red and blue square.

It's strange that you would find white/blue and red/blue on the same tailgate.

White over blue indicates the Unit Sign for a Signals vehicle, Red over blue indicates the Unit sign for an Artillery vehicle.

I can't imagine the both of them being on any Canadian Army vehicle at the same time!

There are publications showing colour plates for Canadian Army Units/Formations, notably Barry Beldham's extensive production of same, but I suggest that those publications would be more than your needs.

If you want info on the markings for your specific vehicle type, just keep on asking in here. You're sure to get an answer.
