Although it's not a wartime picture of a T16, it's the 7th Cdn Inf Bde Memorial in Eede, Holland.

Ah yes, the T16 at Eede. The original National Monument is a reminder of the day on which Queen Wilhelmina returned to the Netherlands. Later the T16 was added, I remember reading about it in the regional newspaper which must have been some 20 years back already. It is an ex-Swiss T16, acquired from a collector in Germany. The top has been welded shut to keep the rain out, but I don't know why that strange headboard was added. At the time I thought it was the wrong type of carrier to use as a memorial, I know better now of course Last time I saw this T16 was with Geoff in 2000, when we were doing a one-day tour of the Scheldt area.

Do you now if the 7th Cdn Inf Bde actually used T16 carriers?

Thanks,
