It shows 1CACR Kangaroos lined up on a sand path between Eerde and Schijndel, carrying 2nd Seaforth Highlanders into battle on 23 October 1944.
No credits given other than "IWM".
The right half of this photo was used in Bill's book on Kangaroos. It appears on page 5. The print was obtained from a private individual.
