Looking for markings for Canadian M3A1 Scout Car

[maple_leaf_eh]

Maybe ten years ago I was surprised to see an M3 on the floor of the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry (ie Sand Dirt and Gravel) Highlanders in Cornwall ON.

No idea if the markings are accurate, but their regimental museum is likely to have original photos or artwork.

Isn't that the King in an 8th Army vehicle?

Hi Terry,
I tried writing to the Glens Museum to get some details on the vehicle you posted on here, but the address given is no longer working. Do you have a current email for them?
Thanks
Gord

those are the Correct markings for the Westminster Regiment (Motor) during ww2.
The Regiment was part of the 5th Canadian Armoured Division during the war.
Hofmeisters mighty Maroon Machine. as a Mechanized infantry regiment.

Check out Canadian soldiers.com for vehicle marking info.
