Personally, my ignorance of the meaning of this symbol is huge but Mark W. Tonner has a white 55 on a red square on all of his posts that is so similar that I feel he will be able to help once he sees this thread.

A red square with a white 56 is used by the second battalion in the senior brigade of an infantry or airborne division. This true for both Canadian and British units. The red square with the white 55 is the 1st battalion of the same brigade. On the other side of the vehicle would be a patch that indicates which division the vehicle belonged to.

Thanks Kent,

This C15A has a faint "CZ" on the door indicating Canadian service. I looked it up and this unit sign indicates service with The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry or The Regina Rifle Regiment. The owner now needs to find traces of the formation sign to pinpoint the battalion his truck served with.

And here's what he uncovered. Can anyone make anything out of the remains of this formation sign?

Thanks,
