Darren,
That's great that your great uncle is on the photo! I got it from a nephew from Tpr. Slimmon who can be seen on the right of the photo. The good news is that there are more photo's from 15th Troop. They were involved in the liberation of Nieuwpoort and Dudzele in Belgium on 7 and 12 September 1944. Here are the ones from Nieuwpoort. They are on-line also. https://devierboete6hs.wordpress.com...dinge-project/ Marco

Another one from Dudzele.
For some reason this photo wouldn't upload simultanuously with the previous one. Marco

Look at the rifle the man kneeling is holding. It sure looks like a No.4T sniper rifle, because of the scope and magazine. But the fore end has been shortened, which apparently was the custom with some troops.

I noticed the rifle too, but is the telescope a no32 or a no67? Perhaps it is one of the ASC rifles?
