A paratrooper from the American 17th Airborne Division gets a light from a Churchill tank crewman of 6th Guards Armoured Brigade near Dorsten in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, on March 29, 1945
Am I missing something or is this a stock\handguard that I have not seen before.
Could it be the colourised photo process that has removed the operating rod cut between the stock and handguard?
