Watercolour sketch depicting Mark IV British First World War tanks at a railhead. The sponsons have been removed for rail transport so that it is not possible to identify the tanks as being male (6 pounders) or female (Lewis machine guns). There are several tents located in the left of the image as well as the outline of a crane and several electricity poles through the centre of the image. There are also several French aircraft in the skyline of the image. Louis McCubbin enlisted with the 14th Battalion AIF in 1916, serving in France from November 1917 with the 10th Field Ambulance.
