A friend has asked me to help identify where her Father was when this picture was taken. He was a Gunner in the Royal Canadian Artillery in WW2 and was in England for a time prior to going to the continent, though I don't suspect until later as he does not have the France & Germany Star in his medal entitlement. Gentleman in question is on the right.

I know it's a long shot, but maybe someone recognizes the portion of the monument behind the guys.

Thanks very much for taking time on this.

What is his medal entitlement that might narrow it down a bit

I'm thinking it could be the Congress column in Brussels?

39/45 Star, Defence, CVSM & Bar, WM is what he is entitled to.

Not a lot of help, I'm afraid. Thanks.

From the images, I think you've nailed it.

Thank you every one who had a go at it. I told her it wouldn't take long and someone would tag it.

Much appreciated.
