I’ve now found the other photos I have of this LVT:
LVT Vrouwenpolder 1 (col. J.C. van Winkelen).jpgLVT Vrouwenpolder 2 (col. J.C. van Winkelen).jpg These are scans of photos from the collection of local amateur historian J.C. van Winkelen; since he had multiple copies of many photos like these, I suspect some enterprising photographer made and sold them in the 1940s — or perhaps he took the photos himself and printed a bunch of them, of course. On the back of one of these, he had written: LVT Vrouwenpolder uitleg (col. J.C. van Winkelen).jpg That is:— Quote:

Used to repair the first LVT "3B" or was there another one in the village?

I wish I knew, but the caption on the back of the photo is the only time I’ve ever heard of an LVT having had to be repaired in the field on Walcheren … I doubt they tried to repair 3B, though, since it obviously also didn’t go anywhere when the war moved on. There are more photos of LVTs in this part of Walcheren, though (including one of a number in Veere¹), so these two were clearly not the only ones. I wonder what caused them to be abandoned in the first place.
