Phyllis is 1CACR
Here is another shot of Phyllis from the rear showing the "Kangaroo" AoS #157.
Definitely 1CACR.
From the WD. April 14:
...a force of six KANGAROOS commanded by Lt. matthews and manned by volunteers which made a sortie into GRONINGEN to sieze a bridge... Amongst the volunteers were maj. Wilson OC "A" Squadron, Sgt. Bois, Sgt Lloyd and Tpr Brant. Sgt. Lloyd and Tpr Brant were slightly wounded and Sgt. Bois and his driver had their KANGAROO brewed up by bazooka fire and were cut off inside the city. They managed to work their way back through enemy lines and arrived back safely during the night.
A question for Roddy. What clues in your last post lead you to think the Ram pictured is an ARV? and not just a really cluttered up Kangaroo? The 1CACR (123 LAD) WD's state their two ARV's were Shermans.
Bill.
