Hello,

For divisional troops 42 represented the senior field regiment RCA in the divisional artillery. Horizontally divided red over blue background.

42 was also a Corps RCASC marking on red/green background but too early for northwest Europe I think. The white bar going across the upper part of the sign suggests corps troops.
