Garry, was it this site http://users.pandora.be/theliberator/myliberator.htm you saw? This Belgian site features the famous photo showing your dad:

with the caption: "This Export 43WLC heads a CMP Truck column carrying food to the Dutch population in April 1945. The rider has been identified as Corporal William James (Jamie) Shipton from Kingston,Ontario of the First Division,Royal Canadian Army Service Corp. The markings on these vehicles identify the unit as 3rd Medium Regt RCA, attached to the 1st Canadian Army in Holland in 1945. (Picture from Steve GUTHRIE's website)".

But wait till you see this!

"Inspired by the wartime image, Joeri Quintyn marked his 43WLC accordingly just prior to the Belgian Wings&Wheels Show on August 8th 2004. The white line under the insignia was still missing."

Did you know this? I think it is a very, very nice tribute to your dad.
