Was looking for something and came across this photo:
Photo No.: BU 1625
Photographer: Smith (Sgt) No 5 Army Film & Photographic Unit
Collection Title: WAR OFFICE SECOND WORLD WAR OFFICIAL COLLECTION
Collection No.: 4700-30
Description: THE BRITISH ARMY IN NORTH-WEST EUROPE 1944-45
Churchill tanks and infantry in Ram Kangaroo personnel carriers assemble for an attack by 6th Middlesex Regiment and the 7th Hampshires against the villages of Putt and Waldenrath, 22 January 1945.
- if the description is correct, the Kangaroos pictured belong to 1 CACR ("A" Sqn) who lifted 7th Hampshires during their successful attacks on both Putt and Waldenrath on 22 Jan 45 (this was during Operation BLACKCOCK)
