On this day 80 years ago: C15TA in action in the Battle of the Scheldt

[Alex van de Wetering]

Back to the Numerical page again.....moving "forward" to pictures "41948" and "41949", it shows a clocktower....there is a similar building today (Dorpsstraat 85), but if it's the same one, it's been heavily modified....I haven't investigated this yet.

If you move the other way on the numerical to pictures 41947-41942...you see a dike and a crossing....and if you think for a moment that the Oude Rijksweg is indeed the correct location of the picture with the parked C15TA's, than the crossing looks a lot like the Bolwerk/Rijksweg crossing, with the differences in height and the curve of the road.

If this is the case, than I think Lieutenant Bell spent a few minutes taking pictures around the Bolwerk/Rijksweg crossing (41942-41947), Rijksweg and than moved to the Krabbendijke centre (41948-41949)......and the C15TA's stood parked along the Rijksweg West of Krabbendijke, before turning right on the "Bolwerk" towards "Oostdijk"
