Unit Sign red green 45

[rob love]

My money is on Artillery; I thought your photo looked more like red over blue. I have a unit marking on the end of the bench which went into the back of a 3/4 ton line truck. The unit was RCHA here in Shilo.




By the way, if anyone wants the bench, it's theirs for $5. Pickup only. I know where one of the lockers is located that goes on top of the bench, along with most of the other doo-dahs to make your common M37 into something rare (and even consume more fuel it that is possible).

Mike: Perhaps this is the final chapter on the Unit Sign.

I've run through Barry Beldham's Vol 1, Ed 4 and Vol 3, Ed 2 three times 'til my eyes are crossed.

The only such pictorial reference is of 11 Army Field Regt and 19 Army Field Regt, both on Sexton Mk 2s, Holland 1945.

The nagging question here is that First Canadian Army listings don't show these units.

Vol 2, IIRC, has Unit/Formation signs particular to Artillery, if you wish to persue this, but then, why...(Hmmm...how do I insert the "beating a dead horse" icon?

I have the same marking on the tailgate of a M135 that I purchased last year.
