An unidentified Ram Kangaroo speeds past the camera in a non-tactical move, somewhere in northern Holland, on April 11th, 1945. The troops onboard are members of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders of Canada.

Note the rudimentary racking holding water cans and other bric-a-brac on the front of this 'Roo. Storage space was at a premium in WW2 armoured vehicles.

The Kangaroo was a god-send to the infantry in both tactical and non-tactical applications. The former meant going into battle with a modicum of protection from artillery and small arms fire, and the latter meant not having to walk between battles!
