[Crewman]

In various Orders of Battle for 1st Polish Armoured Division (1944-45), and on various Arm of Service (AoS) marking charts, there is shown (under Divisional Troops) the following Polish unit:

1st Tank Replacement Squadron

Markings:

AoS: serial '473' (in white) on a background of Green over Blue
Formation Sign used: 1st Polish Armd Div

Ha!

I know of course AoS 473 but in the Polish sources it has unclear status. It does not have the status of a Squadron and what is more 1st Tank Replacement Squadron. In Polish literature this unit is called generally as "Divisional Replenishment Center".

Thanks Mark!
