Hi Fred,

Only one I can find is Canadian Artillery as shown at the link it's blue and red but further down the page is one that looks like yours..

Morning Fred, Bill has got you the id. The sign should be turned 90° to the right for the correct orientation. It is the sign for Army Group Royal Artillery 2 Canadian Corps. (There is an error on the Second Canadian Corps Formation Sign label. There were not two groups in 2 Cdn Corps AGRA.) The regiments in 2 Cdn Corps AGRA were 2 SVY RCA, 6 A/T RCA and 6 LAA RCA.
