This is the website photo in question.

 photo Guards Armoured Division_zpsjkkxdwn4.jpg

An interesting photograph. The AoS '43' indicates an armoured division provost and that looks very much like the Guards Armoured Division 'All Seeing Eye' on the fuel tank....where it clearly shouldn't have been according to Army Council instructions !

Re: Forum picture

Very nice picture, what is the bike they are ferrying? Decent Dutch army photos are few and far between, it's nice to see one here.....

Unforgettable, those days
If you want more, have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/74/a2006074.shtml
There is one error in that story: it was May 7th and not the 6th that the Germans opened fire on the crowd at Dam Square; I was there too

Re: Forum picture

I guess that's a BSA G14 or KM21, delevered to the Dutch Army before the war started.

Re: Forum picture

I used to have this Original picture. It was in a Photo album and all the pics in this album were taken during the liberation of Brabant, south of Holland. So this one could have been taken in Brabant as well.

Re: Forum picture

Who would be willing and able to share the highest possible resolution scan with a rivet-counter / Arm of Service Anorak ?

Re: Forum picture

Look at the helmet covers, used to distinguish the two parties ('Red' and 'Blue' usually). It covers the oval bronze "Lyon" sign on the Dutch pre-war helmets.

Re: Forum picture

Found this today.... Not sure if the guy on the right is German with a Dutch helmet or a Dutch soldier who has just surrendered. or is it just my imagination.
