    English

    Hi

    Trying to place an album. I take it these guys are English? What do the number represent, division, regiment etc.

    Cheers

    Hi Karl, they are not "Tommies" but I guess they are either French or Belgian troops? I guess this photo dates from 1940? Sorry I cannot add any detail for you but I know next to nothing about these army's.

    Try a post in the International forum if no one here can tell you more

    Cheers, Ade.

      Interesting

      Interesting to note that the soldier at the back right is German, .. so these chaps are probably POW's ... and their smiling !!!!!!!!!!!

        It looks like they have a crown on their uniforms so I'd go for them being Belgian.

          Hi Tony, I think you are right


          I have just done a little search on the 'net and have found this site:

          http://www.belgianbadges4046.be/

          There are plenty of links so I am sure Karl will be able to find what info he is looking for?

          Cheers, Ade.

            They looks like Belgian prisoners.

            Cheers

              Hi

              Thanks.

              They come from a German album that has a few clues to what unit it might belong to.

              I thought these guys might have been either from England or Belgium, the crown.

              Cheers
