Markings for my WLA
I have a copy of AR 850-5 on WW2 vehicle markings....and some other books, but I just cant seem to figure and find out enough to make up my set of markings.....hope you guys can help!
The bike already had 2nd ID logo on it, and I kinda like it so I decided to keep it. What I cant seem to find out is the apprpriate markings for it regarding if it should be a cav or mp unit....Id like it to be a higher up vehicle too.
I have done a little creative math to figure out approximately what my Army reg. number should be- 672404
Any info you can provide would be very greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Chad

haven't gone through it in detail, might I think it might be the official website for 2-AD. I have the site for the 3-AD too if you're interested

2-P
HQ-2
with 2 = 2nd Infantry Division
P = Military Police
HQ = headquarters company
2 = vehicle #2 (based off what you had written before)

2-X
P-2
would be correct for a 2ID MP bike..., assuming they had them...
2-X
HQ-25
would be correct for a messenger bike attached to Divisional HQ...
