Canadian Road Signs

[servicepub (RIP)]

You guys are used to seeing me hawk my own books but I highly recommend that you treat yourselves to a copy of Mike Dorosh's book on signs. Some of the photos shown in this thread are there but there are many photos from a private collection that appear for the first time.
Signs of War Available for CDN$19.99.

I found these pictures today in the city archives on Rotterdam (online).

The quality isn't great, but the signs are clear.

Interesting that in the first picture, the British Officer's Club is the only arrow pointing right. In the third picture, there is a sign for the MLBU. That is the same abbreviation used in today's Canadian Army for Mobile Laundry and Bath Unit. Soapy oily laundry and cold gang showers.
