HOBJ2428 Accession Number: HOBJ2428

Description

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. Here a crew member prepares to climb down from the Centurion, while it stands by on a hillside in Korea. Two other unidentified soldiers are crouched in the bushes in the foreground. 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.
