Nice touch here, having borrowed chairs for the previous photo these men
are taking them back in, not something Russians would do!

Note the German white flag hanging behind this group. The very well worn
bolt handle on the rifle held by the right hand man speaks of recent hard fighting.

The sign behind the troopers reads “Waldfrieden” a German word sometimes used as Wonderland!

Note that the Trooper second from left has his pistol ready to use!

The right hand man is wearing his (mouth) inflatable life-belt so they are
probably waiting to go ashore.

The Trooper stands in a 3 inch Mortar ‘pit’ with the covered muzzle of one
tube just visible.

Westkapelle is a small City near Walcheren the photo taken during a lull in fighting as none of these men is armed.

This appears to show a ruined German Casement or Bunker probably close to, and overlooking, thevLandingnBeach.

This is called, “Living off the land”. Those chickens should leg it now!
