I don't think this photo represents a Canadian vehicle, and I say this for two reasons. First, the soldiers are wearing uniform accoutrements identifying them as horse artillery. Take note of the cap badge, which is not the regular artillery cap badge, the use of collar badges and badges at the bottom of the epaulet. Canada only had one horse artillery regiment during the war, and it was equipped with towed 25-pounders serving in the 1st Canadian Infantry Division. Second, niether of the field regiments in either 1st or 2nd Canadian AGRA had the AOS serial '338' like the Sexton in your photo. However, according to Bouchery, 4 RHA in 5 AGRA was equipped with Sextons. But there is a glitch. Continuing with Bouchery, the AOS serial for 4 RHA was '1191'. So, the bottom line to all of this is, I can't tell you to which unit the vehicle belongs but I don't think it's a Canadian one. Cheers, Dan. |
