    Oscar,

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    The second photo appears to be some sort of bunker system in the background.

    Regards

    Thanks all. Dads name was John William Mumby, known also as Jack or Pip. He was a Bren gunner in a Carrier with the 53rd, A or C sqn.

    The 2nd picture down, on the back read 7 troop A squad, 53rd. I think they were the first met up with the Yanks at Falaise?

    To add to my other pictures of dad I found a couple more . The one with the carrier is in Dusseldorf or Solingen after the end of the war , and the other is Solingen dated 1945 .
