modern day photo, note the Hotchkiss m/g. The web sling is possible but the leather sling would be more correct
A Bridge Too far???.....
Think the pic is legitimate will look into it further
I think it's Holland too, my first take.
Changed my mind, could be an original photo. Still not certain if that is a Hotchkiss or FN type BAR ?
Paratroopers of the 17th Airborne Division riding through Munster, Germany on the top of a Churchill tank. March 24, 1945
Certainly got enough hardware on the turret to act as spaced armour maybe seen to many mates Ronson'ed by 88's
GI's riding on a British tank. LMG is definitely a Mk I Bren with the second pattern flash hider.
The two tankies are definitely Brit. Interesting the Bren. Brit tanks almost never had an external MG on the turret, probably because of doctrine and infantry armour tactics.
