1st Survey Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery
Bing was a wonderful, prolific and accurate artist as well as making us laugh with his immortal character, Herbie.
For all of you out there who refer to the Gunners as "Herbies", note the unit sign on the sign post... 10 on red over blue... 1st Survey Regiment, RCA part of 1st Canadian Corps, Italy 1943/44... Now you know the rest of the story!    Mike

The Twins- Arte and Marte
I guess I should have mentioned the close relationship between the Herbies and the twins- Arty and Marty (Per Arte et Marte- "By Skill and By Valour" sometimes translated as "By Skill and By Fighting") is the motto of the Electrical and mechanical Engineers): these hard working specialists and technicians are the Yang to the Herbies Yang: we break 'em and they fix 'em!
The LAD is the Light Aid Detachment and I suspect Herbie's truck is a bit beyond even their almost magical ability to keep 'em rolling!  to the RCEME! Mike
