Description

Five British servicemen and an unidentified officer, possibly Australian, relaxing around a Mark V (male) Battle Tank during a break from salvaging derelict tanks. Chalked on the side of the tank is 'The Knuts, Tres Bon'. On the far right are the remains of a destroyed factory, probably the St Denis sugar factory. Note Mont St. Quentin in the background (centre). This panorama is one of a series taken by the Australian War Records Section. The original is a 10 inch x 32 inch long 'Cirkut' camera nitrate negative.
