Looks like a T16 in SE Asia:
It got a PM stating this image was recently posted for sale on eBay and it indicated the T-16 was in Burma.

Thanks,

I'm told that this one is actually on D Day?? The carrier has a James ML on the back. Followed by what looks like a MK2. Ron

Default James ML

Ron, I know that photo ... it is June 6th, in France. I will look for the details.
Is it Lion-sur-Mer?

Update ... Ask your chum if he knows this fellow in the mortar carrier with the wading screens. I suspect it is the same carrier from a different perspective, moments apart.

Notice the background detail ... the hotel in Hermanville? Is that 41 (RM) Commando?

Ross it seems there is a Vet who lives not ten miles from me who was in this carrier group. He wants to visit me to be near a carrier again. The in between contact guy has told me they were something like 'Kings Shropshire Light Infantry' or something. I'll find out for sure soon.

Michael, your first picture is interesting from an Aussie, Kiwi view point, in that the bogie wheel rubber appears to have a similar profile to some of our carriers.
I have not seen that before on a riveted carrier wheel.

Default spare hull, anyone?

a train load of newly produced hulls heading to the Ensite assembly line as an incomplete MKI*, milestone 12,000, goes on display.
