Here's another picture of Argyll Roger in the same location. Source: www.geldersarchief.nl, courtesy of Marco H.

Edited to add: this picture was taken at the Utrechtseweg 232, Oosterbeek, in September 1946. The Airborne Monument is shown in the background at the other side of the road (Utrechtseweg).
