Hello Bill,

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
