Default Too many Bell's...

Hi Hanno,

I didn't think the fellow was Art either. Keep in mind Art was a Trooper. The Regiment had three members with the surname Bell. Trooper John Bell (A Sqn Gunner Op.), Trooper Art Bell (RHQ Clerk and our dear departed friend) and then a Lieut. John G Bell.

I have been able to come up with positively ID'd photos for 47 of the 53 Officers that passed through the Regiment and L.A.D., in my estimation Lieut's Bell or Gordon were the most likely candidates for this unidentified officer.

Yes, the two fellows on the right of the turret ring are Dutch Free Forces. With so many clues in this series of photos, I've been trying to come up with a Diary reference to better date and locate this photo, but haven't been able to... yet.

Of course, I didn't think of that

Excellent job, giving a name to almost each and every face!

Will ask if any of the Princes Irene Brigade experts know where & when the pic was taken.
