Photo caption from AWM:
"Wounded Australians of the 15th Brigade, and wounded German prisoners, all unidentified, sheltered beside a British Whippet tank. This tank was one of the new mobile type which had made a successful first appearance in the battle of Hamel. Note the two soldiers standing beside the tank are wearing their gas masks in the alert position in front of their chests.
"Taken August 9, 1918, at France: Picardie, Somme, Harbonnieres"

Beautiful images, full, mesmerising, encapsulating our past ancestors and their dawdles, within their limitations. In 500 years these may still exist. Not sure though about Blue Ray.....!
