Bruce.

Somewhere in the Niagra Region of Ontario during the Cold War, there was an entity known as the Regional Operations Communications Centre. Its reason for being, what it actually did, and where, I do not know.

I would put money on the odds that can is connected to that organization rather than the Canadian Army.

Thanks Dave. The third letter is may be an O but not a C. It might work if the organization was the 'Regional Communications Operations Centre'. The quality of the paint and application tells me this is not a local gas station job.

I am a Twit, Bruce, and it is wayyy past my bedtime!

The organization I am thinking of is indeed, the ‘Regional Communications Operations Centre’. The rest of my other post is correct. For some reason in this section, my fingers were apparently already in Neverland!

Google is no help on this but your suggestion makes sense. I can't see the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corp having the need to mark their gas cans in this fashion. A lot of cans I've seen do sport post war paint and even unit or squadron/company markings but these latter are usually very crudely applied.

You have a dilemma Bruce. Paint or not to paint , that is the question ...
