Can someone help me with a list of the tactical map symbols used by the British and Canadian forces during ww2 ??? Thanks in advance
Here's a list of Military Conventional Signs dated 1941 for insertion into the Field Service Pocket book. Interesting to see that red is for own forces and blue for the enemy, the opposite of today's system. Regards, Richard
I thought the assumption was that British were marked in red and the enemy in blue because we wore red coats and the enemy were usually French who wore blue. The official history of the first world war shows the French in Blue and the Germans in green.
