21st. Army group Vehicle signs
I have a book printed by the 21st. Army Group that shows all the vehicle formation signs. These signs were in use only on the vehicles. I will post the first five below, as you can see they relate to Canadian units. There are quite a few more so if you are interested I will post some more. John.

Re: 21st Army Group veh markings
Quote:
I hate to disappoint you, but none of these ‘formation markings’ pertain to Canadian Army units, they are all in fact for Royal Army Service Corps formations (not Royal Canadian Army Service Corps formations): image 1 - CRASC 1 Tk Tptr Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 1 Tank Transporter Column image 2 - CRASC 2 Tk Tptr Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 2 Tank Transporter Column image 3 - CRASC 20 Tpt Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 20 Transport Column image 4 - CRASC 21 Tpt Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 21 Transport Column image 5 - CRASC 24 Tpt Coln = Commander Royal Army Service Corps 24 Transport Column all of the above are Royal Army Service Corps formations not Royal Canadian Army Service Corps.

21st. Army Group
Thanks for putting me straight on the meaning of CRASC.On looking at the few cloth shoulder titles I have for Canadian units I see that the title reads RCASC. Never the less on looking through the book I think I have found three examples of Canadian formation signs. John.

Thanks for posting
Great examples of tac signs. Now if only a book can be found showing all the Canadian Tac signs illustrated the same way.

Yes, you are correct: image 1 - No. 64 Army Transport Company, R.C.A.S.C. image 2 - No. 85 Bridge Company, R.C.A.S.C. image 3 - No. 86 Bridge Company, R.C.A.S.C. all of which served under Headquarters, Commander First Army Transport Column, R.C.A.S.C. Cheers

Were these signs ever used?

In the booklet printed by the Printing and stationary service, 21st, Army Group there are 88 pages of vehicle formation signs, so they must all be recognised as " official" badges. John.
