Some help with this carrier.

[Jim Burrill]

With the Loyd carrier right behind, you think it may have been the Anti-tank platoon? Have to get into the photoshop so I can enlarge the image..

Nigel,

IWM B8190 shows the same carrier, but it's too far away to give a conclusive answer to your question.
There is definately a line running through the "5" or "S".
I recon a good print or scan from the IWM will give you more info than the online scan.

Nigel, according to my files, 61 on the Carrier (in a green square) was used by 7th Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders, as they were the second Battalion of 46th (Highland) Infantry Brigade in the 15th Scottish Inf Div.

Perhaps the S is unofficially for Seaforths, and was your wife's uncle in that regiment?

Doesn't the name on the front of the Loyd say 'Loch Lomand'.
