Mick, I would second the "thumbs up" for "The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps" by by Marteinson and McNorgan ISBN 1-896941-17-6. It illustrates the Order of Battle of the corps at signifacant moments in its history. This allows you to build a collection for:
Pre 1914 - Canadian Cavalry
WW1
Post WW1 with amalgamations of "new" cavalry regiments in 1936, Armoured Car regiments in 1936, New tank regiments created in 1936.
WW2
New regiments to the corps 1946 - 1954
Changes in name 1946-1954
Orbat for the corps 2000 as well as those regiments on the Supplementary Order of Battle of the RCAC 2000.
Its a great book and well worth the 50-75 dollar price.
Cheers,
Greg
