Here we see a Cruiser Tank Comet (A34) from the front. The Comet was a rare example of a British tank of the period that was designed to carry a high powered gun, in this case the Vickers 77mm Ordnance Quick Firing Mk II which dominates this picture. The Comet arrived too late to make a significant contribution to the fighting during the Second World War, entering combat after the crossingf of the Rhine.
Picture from the author's collection. The tank is in the collection of the very impressive Bovington Tank Museum
