Looks way too large to be Straths. My guess, it could be either BC Regiment or Ontario Regiment (leaning toward the later given the size), both of which were tank regiments.

Can't really see, but my guesses are 1st Hussars or Three Rivers - in that order.

Good observation Doug. mufasa any idea of the location of the photo. If it was taken or attributed to Italy, it would be the Three Rivers Regiment. If it was in NW Europe, it would be the First Hussars.
