Hi Jason,
There were several photo's taken in my neighbourhood (that is in the eastern part of Holland) showing Kangaroos but I never found one showing a Kangaroo towing the 17 pdr +limber.
It seems that at that time (April 1945) most of the Kangaroos were used as infantry carriers.
Also I never saw photo's from 17 pdr field guns in action in my neighbourhood, all 17 pdr's known from photo's are self propelled (Firefly, Archer and M10).
I would expect a 17 pdr gun crew would be about 6 or7 men, but I'm sure someone can tell us exactly.
In the meantime I found some more Kangaroo photo's.
This one is from April 4th, taken in the city of Delden near the Twenthe canal .
Marco
