Members of 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry huddle around a fire next to their Sherman during the freezing winter of 1944-1945.

The Sherman tank had a crew of five consisting of a commander, the driver, a gunner, a radio operator who also acted as gun loader, and a co-driver who also manned the hull machine gun.
