Could anyone give me some guidance on the way that the Royal Navy would have marked vehicles that they used ashore in Europe during WW2?
So far I have seen a couple of examples with a four or five digit number followed by the letters "RN" but also two four digits with RN in the middle. I'm not sure which is correct.
I have also seen at least one vehicle with an anchor symbol stencilled on in white. Is this correct for all RN vehicles or were other markings used?
I thought I'd throw myself at the collective mercy of the great and good on this forum as I'm struggling to find much information on this.
