May1940,from Albertchannel to Leie

I couldn't find out where exactly this photo was taken but the story behind is this.In May 1940 some Belgian soldiers were waiting next to a Belgian T13 tank with a defective drive train and broken aimingdevice.They were waiting for the first Germans to appear under the railroadbridge.They looked through the open barrel of the 47mm gun and when that lined up with the German recon vehicle,loaded and shot .After the direct hit they ran away as if the devil was chasing them .
