Description
Korea. October 1951. Giant British Centurion tanks gave a dramatic display of weight and gun power when they moved in with the spearhead of British Commonwealth troops in the UN October offensive. Australian Infantry Sergeant Bob Moore of Strathfield, NSW, watches his mates clearing out the opposition on a hill, while a spotter on the turret of the Centurion in the rear stands by ready to call for supporting fire. Chinese troops were demoralised by the sustained battering given to their strong points by the Centurions, which crushed under their massive treads the spots which they did not blow apart.
