Hi Wim and Mark,

First of all thanks Wim for the interesting new photos showing kangaroo personnel!! I'm going to have to inquire about get larger copies of these photos from these archives as I may be able to identify some or all of the "kangaroos" involved! Indeed there are a couple of familiar faces in the one larger group photo. The fellow standing on the engine deck on the left is familiar to me. I also notice a faint marking of the tank's name on the fender, "SISCA"? Great photos!

Wim's posted photographs could be Hengelo, though maybe not the actual "liberation". I am at work right now and don't have my list of lifts and place names travelled by the 1CACR but I do know that their 12 pg History and Col. Churchill's address pamphlet were both printed in Hengelo, so at some point, somebody from the regt. was there.
Thanks Bill, I kinda thought that these were 1 CACR (cap badges second photo) and may not have been taken when Hengelo was liberated.

Cheers
