SUBTERFUGE AT ITS BEST

[Gil Boyd]

I think this was taken in Gallipoli and shows some Aussies carrying a WW1 mockup tank.
Subterfuge at its best, but sadly didn't have the desired effect on the Turks if it was there.
This went on right into WW2 as well, with thousands of blow up tanks and vehicles placed in the wrong locations to fool the enemy, especially around DDAY.

That wouldn't be Gallipoli since the Mark I didn't enter service until 1916 and the terrain surrounding ANZAC Cove was too hilly and steep to be 'tank country'. I'd guess it's probably later on, say 1917 or '18 and in France.

Must have been hot on that day as they are all in summer wear
