Photograph by Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, MC, 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), World War Two, North Africa (1940-1943), 1942.

The member of a Crusader tank crew undertaking target practice with a revolver is named as 'Sampson'.

Enfield and Webley .38 inch revolvers were standard issue for British tank crews during World War Two. The confined space within a tank meant personal weapons, used for security and self-defence, had to be compact as well as effective.
