Hi Hanno, if you refer back to posts #112-124 of this thread you'll see this photo as part of a series.
However, my original attribution in '06 of this to 'B' Squadron was incorrect. Those photos have since been positively identified as A Squadron, 4 Troop. Taken sometime in early April before the attack Groningen. Exact location is still unknown. The Lieut. Standing, centre foreground is unidentified, but may be either Lieut. Gordon or Bell? The black beret seated on the edge of turret ring directly behind him is Lieut. John Campbell (one of our Toronto regulars until his passing in the spring of 2011). |

Thanks, after posting the photo I had a closer look and found Mark posted the very same photo in post #123. Good to hear more information has come to light on these photos. The Lieut. standing centre foreground, in my opinion, is not Lieut. Bell? Compare with the wartime picture of Art Bell I instered for comparison. Judging by their shoulder flash the soldiers sitting on the Kangaroo, no. 1 and 2 from the right, are Netherlands Army soldiers. Regards, Hanno

Hi Hanno,
I didn't think the fellow was Art either. Keep in mind Art was a Trooper. ![]() 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. ![]() |
