Help with Staghound Crew Designation?

[Darren Sutherland]

Thank you all for the responses! I'm sorry I can't offer any contributions to the forum on the restoration side of things but I knew this would be the group to ask about my Uncle!

Marco... that's my Uncle 2nd from the left! That is the only other image of him during his military service. You have no idea what this means to me! Thank you so much! And to see him with the rest of the crew is amazing!

Can I ask where this image came from? I hadn't had much luck finding other images/info about 15th Troop (although I still have a good portion of the war Diaries to go through).

Anyway... Thank you all again!

Darren,

That's great that your great uncle is on the photo!
I got it from a nephew from Tpr. Slimmon who can be seen on the right of the photo.

The good news is that there are more photo's from 15th Troop.
They were involved in the liberation of Nieuwpoort and Dudzele in Belgium on 7 and 12 September 1944.

Here are the ones from Nieuwpoort.
They are on-line also.

Another one from Dudzele.
For some reason this photo wouldn't upload simultanuously with the previous one.

Ditched somewhere in the Caen area.
Driver at that time was Tpr Wynne.

Look at the rifle the man kneeling is holding. It sure looks like a No.4T sniper rifle, because of the scope and magazine. But the fore end has been shortened, which apparently was the custom with some troops.
