The photo is of Troop A of the 24th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron. I always assumed that it was taken at Singleton, West Sussex, where the squadron was activated in December 1943.

However, among the men is a Corporal Joseph Negri (the photo comes from his collection) who joined the squadron as a replacement on the day before the breakout. So it cannot be in Britain. I'm confident that he is there because his daughter...

The squadron passed mostly from Utah Beach (replacements also came into Le Havre) through France and Belgium and into Germany, so the photographs could be from nowhere near...

I recently found two interesting websites. One has some excellent collections of WW2 photos, some even of Normandy, most elsewhere, and the other explains how colourizing black-and-white photos is done !

I found an unusual photograph in the National Collection of Aerial Photography (NCAP) archive today while playing around with different search terms on their site. Having inserted the single search term 'sea', the search engine came up with a number of photos but one in particular caught my eye. It shows the forward two thirds of what I take to be a heavy cruiser underway, supposedly off the Aberdeenshire coast in the North Sea:...

I guess this is one that Niels might find interesting, or able to help out.
Attached is a photo of a Tiger 1. I think it must have been taken in the wide Arras area, France. Probably in the sector Amiens-Cambrai-Rijsel and the coast area.
Hope there is more information about this knocked out tank.

Regards,

Hans
