Driver mechanic C
My cousin served with the 1st Canadian Field Regiment RCHA. He took a 3 month Signals course then an oral Driver Mechanic C test. When he landed in Sicily he was a Driver Mechanic C according to his service records and he drove trucks in Italy until he was injured when he ran over a land mine near Monte Cassino while hauling ammo. For a while he was running a mule train hauling ammo in the mountains. In 1944 in Italy he was redesignated as Driver Mechanic MV "C".
Now for my question. What's the difference between a Driver Mechanic C and a Driver Mechanic MV C? Would he have been driving a signals truck in Sicily with the RCHA or would a signals driver have been in a signals unit?
