Caption: "Canadian tank. "Mine clearer" before the parade. Canadian soldiers in the Netherlands. Demonstration with a Sherman Crab (minesweeper) prior to the parade on Dam Square in Amsterdam. Leiden, Schuttersveld. May 22, 1945."
This is Sherman V Crab "ROB ROY IV" of the 1st Lothians and Border Yeomanry, 79th Armoured Division: 141206.jpg Source: https://beeldbankwo2.nl/nl/beelden/d...a-dc1c4e714a73 Plus a second picture of what looks to be the same Sherman V Crab, possibly while on parade on its way to the demonstration? Edited to add: another source has this picture captioned as "Canadian soldiers with a Sherman Crab (minesweeper) and Churchill tank on their way from the line-up area to the parade on Dam Square in Amsterdam." 32864700130_ac98b8e2e8_k.jpg And a third, dated 27 May 1945, Amsterdam: SFA001000468_01.jpg Source: http://proxy.handle.net/10648/6a32e0...c-003048944028
