one coy from CiABG go across Germany to the home in april 1945,
in 1.may 1945 cross border to Czechoslovakia, from west side,
think it was only one "british" unit in far east Europe,
with Czechoslovak coy go cpt.Stepenson with Morris Tilly,
as staff officer for contact between czech and US Army, and beatween
21st Army group and US Arrmy in western Czech country.
Maybe we know details for this mission?
Please see pictures from 8.may 1945

post 3 middle photo
 
The middle photo of the street parade appears to be of an 11 cab CMP as I can clearly see what appears to be the radiator cap on top of the grill surround. Would I be correct? :)

Nice pictures, Tomas. One more good reason to start on my Austin Tilly is to bring her to Czech republic in one of the coming years.

Cliff, that's an 11 cab all right. Another indicator is the lack of a roof hatch. Nice pictures.

Czechoslovak token force may 1945
 
thank you for answers,
please see on more pictures
www.fotoalbum.eu/higgins

think this operation "token force" to east across Germany to Czech country was wery exceptional, we make after 63 years monument in Kyšice village,
token force was here 8.may 1945.
I try send tu MLU pages more pictures, I have problems with sending big pictures,
info enthusiast canadian armed forces - Czechoslovak independent arm.brig.group was under command 1st canadian army and many vehicles and equpments was from canadian stores.

for Rob - its nice idea!
I want see you on Beltring show.
Oh I like tillys, but very expesive.
