Tactical Signs

Tac signs, in white, were carried on an 8 inch square in red and blue (except as detailed below).
This was usually carried on the front of the vehicle and sometimes on cab doors as well. The pattern indicated the Battery.

The white tac sign was placed centrally except for AA units who used only the blue portion of the sign.
Many units eventually changed to the AA style.

Survey Regiments used yellow in place of the red square and a yellow corner for RHQ

R.Sigs and REME attached to a unit often used the RA colour tac signs although R. Sigs could also use their White over Blue sign with Red lettering instead.
As with any marking system there were always exceptions to the rules. Where non standard markings are known, they will be shown on the units individual page.
