Ces deux soldats canadiens arborent un drapeau nazi qu'ils ont capturé dans les galeries de la carrière des Aucrais à Haut-Mesnil. Le fanion nazi ne semble pas avoir beaucoup servi et était vraisemblablement plié dans la sacoche de l'attelage, celle qui gît à leurs pieds sur la droite de la photo. Derrière les deux soldats, ce qui ressemble à une remorque "polyvalente" allemande Sd Anh 104, voir ici : www.lonesentry.com/ordnance/sd-anh-203-special-trailer.html Voir le camouflage fait de branches accrochées sur les côtés du camion. Le soldat de gauche est muni d'une Sten MkII fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sten_Mk_II et celui de droite d'un fusil Lee-Enfield n°4 MkI fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Enfield_n%C2%B04 Photo prise le 10 Août 1944.
