This is an 8th Army Christmas (1944) Airgraph sent by a Canadian serviceman to Pictou Canada .  Most of the senders details are clear and can be read as
F44744 L/Cpl C.C.Dalton 2 Cdn 

but then there is the unit designation which appears to be [u][b]Med Regt pl[/b][/u] ?? and then RCASC (Royal Canadian Army Service Corps). 

I have not be able to find out what that central part stands for.  Any ideas would be most welcome.

2nd Canadian Medium Regiment RCA formed part of 1st Canadian Army Group RCA:

Sorry, I have no other information.

Thanks for that info.  I have had a chance to look round the web based on that and have enough for now to write it up.
