I expect this photo is in Dusseldorf at the end of the war when British soldiers were deployed to Germany to administrate, keep the peace, etc... I was told known as 'mopping up' operations. My dad in to the centre in front of the bar maid. I don't know any of the other soldiers but would welcome any info.

They look cheerful, bet they were glad it was allover & they came through it.

This must be 1949 or after as that was when non officers were allowed to wear ties
