Help please: I know this photo was taken in February 1943 in Tunisia - Who does the soldier belong to?

Hello, welcome to the forum.

The soldier is wearing a V Corps patch and what looks like a Royal Artillery arm of service strip and the diced patch of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, so probably 93 (A&SH) Anti-Tank Regiment RA.

I think Keith has nailed it.

Thank you all - that makes sense, because I know 93rd AT Rgt was present with this brigade (36th) at this battle.

Here's a puzzle: attached is a photo of two soldiers in front of the soldier from 93rd AT Rgt: they appear to be RAMC, but why would they be poking around demolished German tanks 4 days after the battle? Could they be technicians in disguise?

Here's the photo: are these two, standing in front of the soldier from 93rd AT Regt, really RAMC, or technicians in disguise?

Thank you - that makes sense as the 93rd was with the same brigade, and probably rotated in with the 72nd that destroyed these tanks.
