Q. I have complete and standard No 19 sets on No 23 Carriers and a complete Canadian High Power suite. Should i go standard 19 or go for the High Power setup if i want to represent a Sherbrooke Fusilier ( 27th Armoured Regt ) radio truck in the winter of 44-45 Holland theatre of war ? Or, it would represent higher up in the COC like a Brigade HQ or maybe the whole Armoured Div ? I know the Sigs trucks belonged to Sigs units.So my questions are not about the markings but about the radio equipment carried in the box.

Remember : Holland / Germany Jan-Feb - Mar 1945.
Thanks .

As a former Sherbrooke Hussar which perpetuates the Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment's armoured traditions, you can guess my vote. More to the point, 2016 is the 150th anniversary of the Sherbrooke Hussars (in the name of all its predecessors). Another Signals van will mean little except to a signaller; a marked SFR sigs' van will have a whole lot more resonance. (Just imagine parking your 5-Wire next to Sherman Tank 'Bomb' - reuniting two old war horses.)
