This is a clear example of why I don't like colorized black and white footage.......someone made a guesstimate about the colour of the RAM.....brown, green? Or was it red?

I agree with Alex, I despise colourized photographs as I consider them to be nothing more then a guess by the 'artist'. They actually distract from the historical record and unfortunately now show up everywhere with little to no information stating that the image has been altered. The worst thing is that the museum community, the people who should know better, have bought into the colourization process.

I posted this photo of TYRANT CT-160052 to which Bill Miller replied:
E05F1D8C-211F-4977-9720-D999350DBF43.jpg “After the battle... Tyrant is one of 7 kangaroos of F Squadron, 49APCR knocked out. All named beginning with 'T' (Tarmois, Tapir, Taunt, Tarantula, Tiger, Tyrant & Terror).” 1217CE78-5C8C-43CD-9D4B-AB42CF3C8EA7.jpeg

I cannot confirm photos of the four names mentioned above. There are photos of a couple other hulls, but the names painted on them cannot be made out clearly. This hull (T11), I believe, is either Terror or Tiger. According to a detailed infantry account, this kangaroo brewed up immediately and a number of the infantry passengers were burned badly, including one burned to death. Of the kangaroo crewmen in this column, 8 ORs were wounded and Sgt. KFA Webber was killed. In the photo, you can see another Kangaroo in the upper right corner, near a farm building. That is CT40694 Tarantula. Bill. F Sqn_T11 at Winterswijk.jpg |

I have tried manipulating the photo but the name is too blurred to be sure it could TAUNT or TERROR but impossible to be sure. Cheers Kevin |

I was going through the 49APCR war diary the other night and found an action report for this incident that also corroborates the account from a veteran of the Ox & Bucks. Sadly, neither the 49APCR diary or the 49APCR Workshop diary records the name or census number of a single Kangaroo APC, they're actually worse than the 1CACR diaries... so really all we have to go on, are 3rd party period documents/letters and photos.
