Welcome to Our Shop!
The MLU tees above proudly display the golden yellow maple leaf that identified Canadian soldiers in WW2. The leaf was integral to the formation signs painted on each vehicle — jeep, Sherman tank, Universal Carrier — to identify its Canadian unit, whether brigade, division, corps, or even First Canadian Army itself.

Infantrymen of Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal seek cover behind a Sherman tank of the Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment in clearing Falaise, Normandy. The SFRs were part of Canadian 2nd Armoured Brigade and their vehicles, like this tank, would have been identified with somewhat muddier version of the colourings of 2nd Armoured Brigade as displayed in the upper left.

The Highland Light Infantry of Canada prepares for D-Day in England, May 1944. Stencils were used to paint the golden yellow maple leaf onto unit vehicles like this Universal Carrier. Since they were in 3rd Division, the HLI would use the divisional colouring with the grey-blue background. (Photographer: Lt. Ken Bell; Library and Archives Canada a136854)
