    I was very often thinking why I have different feeling from these very old photographs.. They usually have very low depth of field, which is understandable, but they also have amazing space.. I realized it when I was looking to the Library of Congress sets.. Almost all pictures have slightly shorter focus (closer to the camera). Notice that the focus is to the grass before tank, and not to the tank itself. Today's practice is to focus directly to the point of interest (eyes in the portrait photography, tank turret in this case..)

    Just thinking of the military aspect.

    How succesful was this tank on the battlefield?

    Either this tank has super sticky treads, or the photo needs to be rotated... :-)

    The hand signals given by the Tank Commander and repeated by the Sponson Gunner are very important in controlling the movement of the tank units of the era. Even if all tanks in the unit had voice radio (I'm not sure if they did at this point), the reliability of the sets - when mounted in a shaking, bumping vehicle - was very low.
