T17E2 Staghound AA

Hi Mark,

Thanks for posting these pics.
This E2 is one of the prototypes with angular turret.
It also seems to be converted from a T17E1 by looking at the bolted engine covers.
Even early E2's had hinged engine covers.

Kevin:

There is no search option on the cegesoma site.
The only thing you can do is browsing through the endless lists of descriptions in Dutch and French language.

But I found the photo's again!
If this link

http://www.cegesoma.be/pls/opac/plsp...l/opac_dsc.htm

doesn't work, browse to the "O" section and go to
"Overdracht van pantserwagens aan de Belgische rijkswacht"

It shows the handing over of several E2's to the Belgium Rijkswacht in October 1944.
These vehicles might well be ex Guards Armoured Division or Household Cavalry.
Maybe you recognize some of the (British?) officers shown.

By the way: the Household Cavalry liberated my hometown.
This event was recorded on film.
