Markgraf Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 On the shoulder title can be read "Royal Artillery". But the formation patch is for the Royal Canadian Artillery (attached to the First Canadian Army). Is he British or Canadian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QSAMIKE Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 It is possible that he is a CanLoan Officer...... Canadian Officers loaned for service in the British Army..... Take a look here..... http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/feature/normandy/norm_report/canloan Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Nice pic, probably served in The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look here..... http://www.veterans...._report/canloan Mike More likely the reverse - a British officer serving at First Canadian Army, possibly AGRA (Army Group Royal Artillery (although the term applied equally to RCA)). A formation patch was not indicative of the wearer's nationality. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markgraf Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thak You Gentlemen! On the back of the photo can be read a dedication : a mon grand [unreadable] and a signature: Howard. In addition, a blue ink date stamp: 1944 JUNI 20 (I'm not sure that is contemporary). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
