any guess on Mk folks ? it has the earlier Mk1 rear fenders but means nothing really.... its great to see carriers like this (loaded to the gunnels) anyone know where the pic was taken ?

Looks very Hollandish... dont know why but that the vibe i get....

Rich,

Not much to go on as the divisional sign is not visible, but .... the unit number is, 67, that puts the Carrier as belonging to an infantry battalion of an infantry division.

So for example using 67, it could be ;
2nd Batt., Lincolnshire Regt - 3rd Inf Div
1st Batt Green Howards - 5th Inf Div
9th Cameronians - 15th Inf Div
7th Batt Hampshire Regt - 43rd Inf Div
4th Batt Lincolnshire Regt - 49th Inf Div
6th Batt Durham Lt Inf - 50th Inf div
5th Batt Black Watch - 51st Inf Div
4/5th Royal scots fusileers - 52nd Inf Div
plus several other possibilities

ahh. i thought that number was perhaps part of the WD number usually painted on the battery box (but obscured) i could swear there is a 675 and possibly a T above those numbers... what about dress is it possible to date it roughly from issue kit ?

Hmmm ........... did not enlarge until you posted, and I think you are right, that is part of the census number. No signs on the back of the motorcycle unless the photo has been censored, although it is usually obvious when that was done. I would say, it is post-D-Day, so mid 1944 onwards.

That was my theory blown out of the water

An interesting photo, the guy on the motor bike is a bit of a collector, he has a german K98 rifle and a german entrenching tool strapped to the bike. I would think it is Holland, that does look like a "T" number on the mudguard. Did MK1s have stacy towing attachments fitted or was it only MK2s ?

Could they be Polish?
