Crusader Mk III from the front

Crusader Mk III from the front

Here we see a Cruiser Tank Mk VI Crusader Mk III from the front, looking down the barrel of its 6-pounder gun. The Mk III was the first version of the Crusader to carry the 6-pounder, but only two men could fit in the new turret, reducing the usefulness of the new gun.

Picture from the author's collection. The tank is in the collection of the very impressive Bovington Tank Museum
