I came across this picture on the web. According to the website the picture is taken on July 25th 1944 near Caen during Operation Spring, but I am trying to find out if this is indeed the case. The same picture has also been copied by Pinterest with the same description.
Does anyone recognise the picture or knows where it originates from? I found it here: http://www.dday-overlord.com/mediath...alvados/caen/2 Alex

Heavy barrage......
....at least 9 guns going off at once...... surprised by the lack of cover for the foreground gun and close proximity of vehicles....... either they have total supremacy in the area or it is a drill....... even the staff is just very casual!!! gun emplacement look well made..... permanent perhaps???? telegraph pole on RH side ????? does not look like they expect anyone to fire back at them......

Awesome Kevin!
 Pity the pic is not available online; would love to see if there is a better quality version available. So, another three cab 12's in Normandy! Quote:

Difficult to see, due to the quality of the picture....but I see what you mean, Owen....the left one could indeed be a cab11. I think the other two show the alligator hood of the cab 12.
Chev or Ford...I think the middle one might be a Chev based on the bumper brush guard. Alex

Look to be a few others in that series, including close-ups of the 5.5s. Location given as S. of Vaucelles. None online unfortunately.
