Thanks, I hadn't realised the Canadians made it to France in 1940

The battle of France does turn up surprises like that, there is a Czech formation next:
BKCCZ181: Czechoslovakian 1st Infantry Division, France, May-June 1940

I think the campaign in June 1940 after Dunkirk deserves a lot more attention from history writers than is currently given, I haven't yet found if the Canadians actually saw any combat. This Czech division certainly did.

Next up the Slovaks during this time:

BKCCZ182 Slovakian 1st Infantry Division, Slovakia, May-October 1940
BKCCZ183 Slovakian 2nd Infantry Division, Slovakia, May-October 1940
BKCCZ184 Slovakian 3rd Infantry Division, Slovakia, May-October 1940

Includes their Armoured Regiment as corps support options.

The other Danish list
BKCDN186 Danish 2nd Jutland Division, Denmark, April 1940

and the first of many Dutch lists:
BKCD187 Dutch 1st Infantry Division, 1st Light Corps, Holland, May 1940
BKCD188 Dutch Light Division, 3rd Corps, Holland, May 1940

[sultanbev]

A large batch of Dutch lists next:
BKCD189 Dutch 2nd Infantry Division, 2nd Corps, Holland, May 1940
BKCD190 Dutch 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Light Corps, Holland, May 1940
BKCD191 Dutch 4th Infantry Division, 2nd Corps, Holland, May 1940

BKCD194 Dutch 7th Infantry Division, 4th Corps, Holland, May 1940
BKCD195 Dutch 8th Infantry Division, 4th Corps, Holland, May 1940

The Peel Division was an ad-hoc force created to defend river lines. It is split into 5 sector regiments, each of one list, to keep the data manageable. This division used the quite rare 20mm Solothurn anti-tank rifles, in separate anti-tank platoons rather than upgrades to existing platoons.

BKCD196 Dutch Peel Division (1), Shaijk Sector Regiment, Holland, May 1940
BKCD197 Dutch Peel Division (2), Erp Sector Regiment, Holland, May 1940
BKCD198 Dutch Peel Division (3), Bakel Sector Regiment, Holland, May 1940
BKCD199 Dutch Peel Division (4), Asten Sector Regiment, Holland, May 1940
BKCD200 Dutch Peel Division (5), Weert Sector Regiment, Holland, May 1940

And that, ladies & gentlemen and others, brings us to 200 BKC lists so far 
Just another 400 or so to do.....

I've nearly finished the 1946-90 CWCII Irish list as well - if you like armoured cars (but not very many of them) that's a list for you (especially for fighting in the Congo and Lebanon)
