Description
A dummy Renault FT 17, made of timber, found at Charleroi. Dummy tanks were employed by each side to mislead the other as to the point of concentration for tanks and draw fire. On the left of the tank is a pile of timber, probably debris from other dismantled dummy tanks. Note a car in the background marked 'M 63547'.
