Bill,

I think the "RCAC" was added to Infantry regiments that were re-rolled to Armoured before, during or after WWII; but kept their original Infantry regimental title.

The ones that come to mind are - The Halifax Rifles, The Grey and Simcoe Foresters, The Elgin Regiment, The Ontario Regiment, The Queen's York Rangers, The Sherbrooke Regiment. There are a hockey sock full of more like that but they slip my mind right now.

Ian
