Created in August 1914 , the Canadian 1st Infantry Division was mobilized on September 1, 1939 even before war had officially been declared. Late in 1939 the division sailed to England in two main convoys and along with additional troops arrived in February 1940. In 1941 they adopted the red patch insignia used in WWI. For its vehicle identification in WWII the Canadian 1st Division used a red patch with a gold maple leaf in the centre. These markings earned the nickname 'The Old Red Patch'. The guns and machine guns brought with them were obsolete and most personnel didn't even have steel helmets. The division trained for 3 years while waiting for modern artillery and anti-tank guns. Finally the division was shipped out to take part in Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily in July 1943.
