Description
A serviceman stands on ‘Newry’, a Mark V male tank No. 9192, believed to have been part of the British tank force that supported the Australian attack east of Amiens between August-September 1918. As a result of the Germans using many captured British tanks, the British adopted a distinctive system of white-red-white markings on their tanks.
