Default On this day 80 years ago: C15TA in action in the Battle of the Scheldt

This well known (maybe even iconic) photo of a C15TA was made 80 years ago to the day. It shows infantrymen of The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry in General Motors C15TA armoured trucks at the town of Krabbendijke, the Netherlands, 27 October 1944. The Battle of the Scheldt was the first combat deployment of the C15TA.

I would like to pinpoint this location for a then & now photo. It would be great to have a full line up of C15TA's complete with infantry. But for now, you will have to do with a recent photo of my C15TA.

PS: note the consecutive census numbers(!)
