I agree Lynn, it's a Vickers GO K Gun. Was just studying the shot and figure it must be Walcheren based on the types of vehicles present and the British commandos participated in that landing which probably accounts for the K Gun.

Very cool photo so thanks for posting it John. I haven't seen all that many photographs of the Weasel in British service even though I've read lots of accounts of units having them.

Shots attached of our "Pickle Boat" with my father ratting around in the mud for fun a few years ago since we got onto the M29C Weasel topic. It isn't in British markings since we had it at a V-J event sponsored by the Nimitz museum a couple of months prior to that. Figured it was more appropriate to be in USMC type markings even though it doesn't have the floatation tanks bolted up.
