    a great and wonderful photo. i take my hat off to all those men and women who fought for our freedom, and of which a lot paid for that freedom with their lives. i say thanks to those photographers who show us those sacrifices that the men and women of the allied forces made so that could have the life we do today.

    Alfred T Palmer was an amazing photographer!!! I can't believe this was taken in 1942.

    Possibly M3 "General Lee" tanks. I think the 'Grant' was the British version.

    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?
