THE 7TH ARMOURED DIVISION SPEARHEADS 12TH CORPS' ADVANCE THROUGH NORTHERN FRANCE (PART 2) [Allocated Title]

Leading elements of the 7th Armoured Division approach the Franco-Belgian frontier during their drive for Ghent.

Women volunteers of the French Resistance movement march on parade through Mozingarbe as M5 half-tracks from the 1st Rifle Brigade's 'A' company motor through the village, their crews waving to the women. Accompanied by a CMP 3-ton lorry from the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars carrying supplies for "Ghent Force", three Humber scout cars and a jeep from 7th Armoured Division's HQ troops head through Carvin. M5 half-tracks, Cromwell tanks and a Fordson 15cwt truck are seen among vehicles belonging to "Ghent Force" motoring along a dusty, pave-surfaced road outside Lille as evening falls.
