Beldam's book does describe how the markings changed over time and according to which theatre they were being used.

Thanks Ed, that will be the info I am looking for. I think I saw a few pages of his book on the net, but not enough to form an opinion.

Where does one find this book?

Edited to add: Found his site and have sent him an email. Apparently he will reprint copies as ordered, and they include new information.

See if you can locate CAMT 4-2-1 in the RCA library as it has drawings of markings.

Thanks Clive, I'll have a look for it.

I shot Barry Beldam an email, and haven't heard anything back yet. On looking some more, I can't be sure whether he is still selling copies or not. I found one web page which still had the paypal and shopping cart format all set up to order, another page with higher prices but only mailing address and email contact, and then another webpage showing that they are all out of print.

I will see if I can get ahold of him for you.

since we are talking ARTY markings I have a question that no one has been able to solve , my wifes 1953 M38A1 is a Arty radio jeep , now comes the big question the unit is a 63 on the ARTY tactical sign , I was not able to find a command logo due to body repairs in that area front and rear , it was 3rd battery , hope some one can help,
regards Frank

Frank,

Two quick questions. Are you positive that the number on the tactical sign is 63 and not 13? And what do you mean by 3rd Battery? Are you saying 3 Battery, RCA, or the 3rd Battery of the unit involved?

Cheers,
Dan.
