Royal West Kent regiment symbols on a jeep


Gpralph

Question

I am nearing completion on my 42 GPW rebuild. She is actually a 1945/46 British Army rebuild and I am marking her up as from that period. She is painted in Deep Bronze Green. I am now about to get her stencils done and want to mark her as being attached to the 2bn Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment from 1946 when that battalion was attacked to the 5th Infantry Division in the BOAR. 
 

Does anyone have any information or photos of what logos/stencils she would have relating to RWK? 
 

As it stands at the moment she will have her hood number (M1595360), the 5th Division white Y on yellow background on the windshield and rear bumperette, some sort of Invicta as the logo for RWK (possible one attached) and nothing else  

Any advice is greatly welcome! 
 

Thanks

Graham

Graham,

I spotted this book on line- if someone has it already they can check for photos for the 1946 Div sign.

BTW Wally - I guess you meant drivers side in Europe is the OFF side and the passenger side would be the nearside the side nearest the pavement.

So that means for this Jeep Graham has to paint the Div signs on the passenger side front and rear?

 to make this as  simple as possible if you stand at the front of the jeep facing it the drivers side is to the right the div sign goes in front of the driver the arm of service in front of the passenger if  you stand at the back look to wards the front the  div sign is on the left the arm of service to the right its the same be it a jeep or lorry
