I'm looking for original pictures of soldiers who are wearing a BC 1000 Field radio on their back.

Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.

On the top pic note the Regimental HQ stencil on the SCR300 battery case.

Here's another one. Not a very good view of the radio but it's a great picture because it's in color.

I'm surprised no more pictures have been added to this thread. In an attempt to revive this interesting topic, here's a picture of a radioman carrying one in Normandy.

Superb operation Varsity picture, note the British paratrooper emphasizing the strong links between the allied armies during the push over the Rhine:

(Funny history fact: General Patton urinated into the Rhine River on March 24. A telegram sent by Patton to Supreme Commander Eisenhower stated: 'I have just p****d into the Rhine River. For God's sake, send some gasoline.')

One thing that I found really interesting about this photo is the way the soldier has wrapped the waist strap back around the bottom of the CS-128 battery case.  I'm also not sure that the bag strapped to the top rear of the radio is the accessory / antenna bag,
