Ram Badger (with Wasp Mk II Flame Thrower)

[Mark W. Tonner]

Mark;

It's not much, but this is what I have:

1x Troop (4x Badgers), Headquarters Squadron, HQ 4th Cdn Armd Bde, 4th Cdn Armd Div, Dates: unknown

1x Troop (4x Badgers), Headquarters Squadron, HQ 5th Cdn Armd Bde, 5th Cdn Armd Div, Dates: From Apr. 1945

Markings:

AoS - white 50 on Red

Fmn Sign used: either 4th or 5th Cdn Armd Div, depending on which Armd Bde.

Like I said, it's not much, the attached is a Badger from the HQ 5th Cdn Armd Bde Troop.

Cheers

Mark;

From a reply I posted on the Old MLU Forum in Jan 2003:

Headquarters, 5th Canadian Armoured Brigade, 5th Canadian Armoured Division, had a Troop of them, Holland, April-May 1945, commanded for a time, by Lt. W.L. McCollum, C.A.C.

Also, Headquarters, 4th Canadian Armoured Brigade, 4th Canadian Armoured Division, had a Troop, but I'm not sure of the date they started using them, but I know the Troop was in existence, in 1945.

Hope this helps.
