Default Canadian Royal Artillery

Just a general question.

Is there a web site covering the structure and units forming the Canadian Royal Artillery during 1939 - 1945, based roughly on the same lines as the site for the British Royal Artillery?

Cheers
Kevin

Thank you.
Great details.
I am currently working on the Academy M10, with Achilles to do, and was looking to do a Canadian SP.
Are you aware of any Regiments vehicle names?

Cheers
Kevin

I don't understand what you are working on - I am writing a monograph on the Sexton SP gun. It will probably be published next year. Is this of any help to you?

Regards

Doug Knight

Doug,

Thank you, I would be interested to read your papers.
To clarify I am working on a model of the Academy M10 and have an Achilles to make also.
I was looking for clarification such as for AoS:
2 for Corps vehicles, 46 for Infantry anti - tank regiments along with 77 for armoured regiments.

Hannu,

Thank you, I think your answer clarifies the above.

Cheers
Kevin
