4 PLDG in Italy
Here is a brassard that would have been worn by the unit during the summers in Italy.

The red rectangle is the formation sign for 1 Cdn Infantry Division. The 4 PLDG were the recce regiment for that division. In the summer of 1944 the Plugs were converted to infantry and served in 5 Cdn Armoured Division, 12 Cdn Infantry Bde until the Canadians were moved to North West Europe in the late winter of 1945. Then they were reconverted to their recce role in 1 CID.

Txs Bill, for the very knowledgable answer.
Do you know a way I could find more info on my Father regarding his Army Tenure? All I know is he was a WW2 Sgt in the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, but cannot find any info anywhere?

As his son, you can access his service records from Library and Archives Canada. You will need to make an application for the files or you can hire a researcher. If you are doing the request yourself, I would reccomend a Freedom of Information request. It comes back much quicker.
