I found a series of photo's from the Normandy 1944 period.No info on the photos as to where/when exactly.I'll post some of them,maybe someone can recognise a place or time. I like this first one because it looks as if the WW1 statue is standing on top of the armored car. Greetz,brummbar
The dead soldiers monument is behind the armoured car… I never see this type of armored car ! I always thought I knew all vehicles! The WW2 is really wide !
Translated from the french caption I found for this photo (some modification and I left some out as it did not make sense)
A Morris Light Recconnaissance Car MK II (4x4) named "CAROL" , on July 4, 1944, in front of the War memorial church of Norrey en Bessin.
French caption
