As Lynn says, its probably from the guy standing on top of all the kit in the next carrier who has taken the photo. i love all the detail in these photos, i have one of a Daimler Armoured Car an old crewman gave me of his vehicle and it is just so jam packed with day to day detail, i have studied it for hours - there is so much to learn from such items.

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.
