Western Desert, Egypt. 16 September 1942. Tank crews of the Royal Scots Greys carry out maintenance on the M3 General Grant medium tanks with which the regiment was equipped after converting from a horsed cavalry regiment in September 1941. Note the great height of the M3, a function of its armament layout with an M2 75mm gun mounted in the hull and an M6 37mm anti-tank weapon in the turret. A Browning M1919 0.30-inch machine gun is mounted on the top of the turret for anti-aircraft protection. The gun of the nearest tank is painted in a desert sand yellow and camouflaged with chocolate brown or khaki.
