I would say probably one of the field companies of RCE in 2nd Canadian Corps. Number 34 for Fld Park Coy, then 35/36/37 for the field coys, 2CanCorps in Normandy had 29, 30 & 31 Field Coys so I guess that 35 = 29

The unit serials 33 - 37 inclusive (in white on a cobalt blue square) were allocated to Corps Engineer assets of both British and Canadian Corps in NW Europe in 1944/45.
