Hi Folks Once again I reach out to the great wealth of knowledge. Trying to understand in our unit war diaries some of the terminology. Trying to work out the following: ARCO 2 CAB. I know the 2 CAB = 2 Canadian Armoured Brigade, but the ARCO?? Would anyone have the answer? Cheers
I thank you for the connection, but yet more inquiries of what does this mean. I feel we have an "idea" but not the accuracy we would like. 25 CACRU - 25 Canadian Armour Corps Reinforcement Unit? Was it part of 25 CADR? W.E.F with date - would it mean effective date taken on/struck off etc.? Now the fuzzy ones for armour qualification: Dvr Mech (C) became Dvr Mech (TK) C, rather obvious Dvr Op (C) became Op CAC (C), does this indicate co-dver/loader qualification? Gnr Op (C) became Op CAC (C), which doesn't go with above but gunner/loader? Dvr IC III Dvr IC III(W) Gnr (RAC)III, I am assuming gunner tank qualification while being trained by Royal Armoured Corps. This designation is seen prior to D Day for qualification listings. Again thanks for all of your help. Gary
