Default 157 AoS inside a Maple Leaf...

I have emailed James directly with a variety of photos detailing this unusual AoS sign. I thought I would share the outcome of those emails...

The war diaries only mention officially painting the Numerals "157" over bars of green and blue. However, photogrpahs I have collected from various sources also show "B" vehicles using a maple leaf shape surrounding the AoS. It is also in evidence that the green and blue bars were not always painted in?

Further to the discussion is a detail of the 1CACR Medical Officer's (Capt. MacLeod) Jeep.

This James' C15TA in 1CACR markings as it debuted at Beltring.

Well done, James!

Thanks! Beltring ended on a High as the C15 TA won runner up in Best Canadian Vehicle to James Baxter's Heavy Utility. We might have come second but I think we had more pictures taken!!!!

Congrats, mate! If I were the judge, you would have come first, due to (1), the 1CACR markings and (2), the fact that the name 'Sally Ann' is that of my own lady (and here so on MLU)... suffice to say when you're ready to sell, I am your man...

Geoff, I think you are out of luck. Sally Ann just happens to be James' significant others name. I don't think she knew about it until she made a last minute trip into the barn. Any woman should be pleased to have such a magnificent truck with her name on it. The C15TA sure was well done and well kitted out, a highlight of Beltring for sure.
