Wout, your road sign is for the 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade Workshop, Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. - the 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade Workshop, was embodied as a unit of the Canadian Army (Active), as Serial No. 232B, the 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade Workshop, Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps, effective 7 January 1943 - it was redesignated Serial No. 232B, the 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade Workshop, Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, and was allocated to the Corps of Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, under Canadian Military Headquarters Administration Order No. 85 of 1944, effective 15 May 1944 - Serial No. 232B, the 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade Workshop, Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, was disbanded effective 12 September 1945.

Cheers

The multi-volume set of histories of the Royal Canadian Engineers (not at hand right now) will reveal names, locations and functions of 1st Works. The RCE had a number of wartime subunits to support its many forward echelon units. 'Works' in the WW2 context may mean 'roads and grounds' in today's phrasing. More to follow.
