  De tank in kwestie (nou ja, tank? tankette werden ze liefkozend genoemd) is een Renault. Een van de vele buitgemaakte tanks die de Wehrmacht voor eigen gebruik inzette

• Leenke said:

  German soldiers are helping French farmers plough their fields. France, 1941

• Adhesive Stream said:

  those are the cutest little tanks. what are they called?

• Geo Poet said:

  Leenke, thank you for the many translations!

• Spike (färben Sie mich ein) said:

  the tank is a "tankette", the British Army called them Bren carriers as they were typically armed with just a light machine gun, such as a Bren... They were captured by German forces and used for various tasks. They are very lightly armoured, and were only much good when up against infrantry...

  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/81629894@N02] Hi there - we will be sharing some more of the McKilliam collection on Flickr so keep an eye out! Some of the McKilliam collection is on eMuseum (you can search by name) not many have images but they do have descriptions: emuseum.anmm.gov.au/code/emuseum.asp. Hope that helps :)

  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Ooh thanks for making the connection to PHMuseum images (and the google news article of 1907). Perhaps we will be converted to Ploughing match tragics here at the ANMM? Favourite event? I like the sound of the 'Double Furrow Plough Contest' :P
