The badges in my display represent only armoured regiments that existed during the operation of the Canadian Armoured Corps from August of 1940, to August of 1945 when the Corps was given its “Royal” designation, post 1945, many units were disbanded or converted to other roles and the reorganized RCAC was significantly downsized.

All the units activated for overseas service of the CAC during WW2 were numbered in sequence of seniority in the Permanent Army and then incorporation into the active brigades/divisions. My display in not in proper “numbered” order, I went with alphabetical order of each regiment. It made more sense, when it came to place the early non-numbered units that were amalgamated, converted or disbanded (denoted with an *).

Only the top row of the display is out of alphabetical sequence as I also included the Corps insignia (top centre) as well.
The display is as follows, top left to right:

*Argyll Light Infantry (Tank)
Canadian Armoured Fighting Vehicles Training Centre (unofficial)
CAC Shoulder Title, economy pattern printed cotton, common
CAFVTC badge (official), defacto “generic” overseas CAC badge issued to all active Armoured troops not yet assigned a regiment.

†† The “Kangaroos” were formed and disbanded in Holland, and as such fell out of the proper army numbering sequence. Technically, I suppose they should have been the “33rd Canadian Armoured Carrier Regiment (Kangaroos)”
