Description
A Valentine infantry tank, probably Mk II or III, being transported from El Alamein to the front line on a low-loader trailer. This mode of transportation provides speedy movement from one area to another. The wedge-shaped blocks at the rear of the trailer are thrown back to form a ramp for loading and unloading.
