Found this carrier picture in a Old Book.

Blimey..... it was just a thought! As it still has the standard canvas, the lower edge would presumably not reach the hull side top edge if it were raised up 9" or so, that was my idea.

I'm certainly not looking for an argument, just a friendly discussion!

On the nearest bike which is a BSA WM20 you can make out the little brass contract plate on the rear mudguard. Just above that and in the shadow of the rear carrier is a rear lamp (Known as a "Fag End") It's on two little legs in the middle of guard. I don't think the other bike is a BSA. The bottom edge of the rear guard looks more like Norton or Matchless. But the more I blow up the picture the fuzzier it gets. Ron

Hope this solves the description of the Picture I posted, Jimmy

Book Title- From Horse to Helicopter by John Sutton & John Walker


Transporting the British Army in war & peace 1648-1989
Published 1990 by Leo Cooper


The caption to the carrier Picture reads,


Members of the Highland Light Infantry and The Argyll Sutherland Highlanders crossing a Class 40 (bears loads up to 40 tons) bridge
over the River Raisal at Maergestel, Netherlands, 28 October, 1944. The vehicle on the bridge is a White (US) scout car often used as
ambulances particularly in armoured formations. A Bren Carrier in the foreground

Just realised my mistake , the units I listed that used 67 for an id were in second inf brigades, where in fact 67 is for junior inf brigades. With the Highland LI and A&S Highlanders, this would make them part of 227th Infantry Brigade, 15th (Scottish) Infantry Div.

QUOTE where in fact 67 is for junior inf brigades. With the Highland LI and A&S Highlanders, QUOTE

The HLIofC was also numbered "67" in 3rd Div..and was often seconded to the Brits...

A few photos - just to see if I can..A parade in Goderich, timeline event in Amhurstburg, and carrying the choir for a memorial dedication in Waterloo, Ontario.

Just realised the location name is spelt wrongly in the photo caption quoted, it should be Moergestel, some very quick research revealed that 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division liberated the area a day or so before the time of the photo, here is one link that explains it;

so it looks like my post yesterday was not far off the mark
