A group of three men from the 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) sitting on a M4A1 Sherman Mark II tank, nicknamed 'Henry the Fifth', in Normandy. Note the additional tank tracks attached to the hull. As well as providing spare parts in the event of mechanical failure they also served as a useful defensive addition to the Sherman's armour plating.
