Thanks for this. To be honest I should have recognised it but isn't hindsight easy
Thanks again

No problemo. I must admit it took me a long while to identify the tank. Initially I thought about the Matilda tank but just the cannon yoke, three return rollers and the front armour plate gave me the proper ID. Also the manderl of the rear drive wheel seen in the foreground appeared to be used for the tank. IMHO there are two Valentine tanks destroyed in the pic.

It's good to have armor specialists on this site as I have pics of armor but only have the sign of the display for ID.

His shoes don't seem regulation to me. The corporal almost looks like a young Martin Milner, it isn't (he would have been 12 at the time) but if you squint a bit he could play his double I bet.

They found a BIG souvenir and they are going to play with it before the big kids take it away.

I AM curious about the American star painted on the tool box. Did the troops use this in combat?

They might have. I bet it was fun though.
