The wreckage of British and German AFVs destroyed in the battles around Caen, 1944

Photograph by Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), World War Two, North West Europe, 1944.

A number of wrecked vehicles at a tank graveyard near Villons-Les-Bruissons. The heavy fighting in Normandy after D-Day so depleted the 3rd and 4th County of London Yeomanry's tank strength that they were merged on 1 August 1944, at Carpiquet.

From an album containing 210 photographs compiled by Major W H J Sale, MC, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters).
