Colour question: WW2 maple leaf

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

What, you want me to call to 'Sir'.. COURSE I WANT IT!!!

Early Canadian tac signs were different. The unit signs I've painted on my Fox are a white 47 on a black square. This differs from the white 44 on a green over blue flash that was typical post 1944 for the RCD's. It seems to be a legacy from the RCD's days in the 5th Div.

Of note, the 5th Div. originally used a horse shoe insignia on their divisional flash, the 2nd Div. used a "CII" insignia and the 1st Armoured Brigade used the famous big-balled ram. The 7th Division may have used a small "7C" on their divisional sign here in Canada.

Oh, to know so little....
