It was taken in the town of Kranenburg on the way to Cleve. The troops are from the 2nd Bn The Gordon Highlanders, 15th (Scottish) Division. There are two other photos of Ram Kangaroos carrying 15th Div troops in this book, however the authors do not give any source for these photos.

John;
If the troops are 2 Gordons, these carriers are from the British 49th APCR (and the date would be 9 Feb 45 - from the Gordon's history).
"A" Sqn, 1st CAPCR was the only Cdn Sqn involved and they carried 6 KOSB and 7th Seaforths. "B" Sqn's carriers were all in workshops at this time.
Cheers
