The courage of these men was tremendous. Even more so from those that had fought in North Africa, Scilly and the D Day beaches. They felt they had done their bit and did not want to be killed as the war was coming to an end. But still they fought on such was their loyalty to their division.

Archer was not a tank, more of a mobile 17lber anti tank gun. They were quite common late war.

[@blueindigo1000]

Looks like a "" Jug" aircraft (p41).

[@fanatamon]

Wonderful aircraft.

[@JohnyG29]

P47*

[@iatsd]

Some gems of equipment in that. From the 2 different versions of Kangaroo to the Challenger to 2 types of Firefly, the 17 pdr and the Archer. What were the British *thinking* when they ditched the Kangaroos immediately after the war?!
