EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1940s with this print of a Sherman Crab Mk II flail tank, one of General Hobart's ingenious 'funnies' from the 79th Armoured Division. Taken during minesweeping tests in the UK on April 27th, 1944, this image encapsulates the bravery and innovation displayed by soldiers during World War Two. As conflict raged across Europe, military forces sought innovative solutions to overcome treacherous minefields. The Sherman Crab Mk II flail tank was one such solution—a formidable machine equipped with rotating chains that detonated hidden explosives safely ahead of advancing troops. This remarkable piece of engineering played a crucial role in ensuring safe passage for our brave soldiers. The photograph captures the sheer power and determination embodied by these war machines. With its imposing presence and purposeful stance, it stands as a testament to human ingenuity amidst chaos. Its tracks bear witness to countless miles traversed through battle-scarred landscapes. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly during World War Two. It allows us to reflect on their unwavering courage and resilience while paying homage to General Hobart's visionary leadership within the 79th Armoured Division. Let this image transport you back in time—to an era defined by heroism and sacrifice—and honor those who served their countries selflessly.
