Post Re: Kangaroos - Rethem

Bill;

Great photos of the "B" vehicles of 1 CACR you just posted. In regards to your earlier post:

BU 3648
Ram Kangaroo personnel carriers of 4th Armoured Brigade in Rethem, 16 April 1945.



I have references (from several sources) that say that this photo was taken on 14 April and is of infantry of the 6th Royal Welch Fusiliers (158th Inf Bde/53rd (Welsh) Inf Div) aboard Kangaroos of 49 APCR, accompanied by Sherman tanks (two of which are in front of the third Kangaroo in the attached photo below) of the Royal Scots Greys (4th Armd Bde) drawn up in the centre of Rethem awaiting the order to cross the Aller.

Cheers
