80 soldiers provided the power as they pulled a Challenger 2 tank through their base at Camp Abu Naji in Iraq to raise money for charity and to mark the anniversary of the death of two comrades killed during 2004. The troops from Paderborn-based 'C' Company, The 1st Battalion The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, known as the 'Armoured Tigers', pulled the 62-and-a-half tonne tank over 200 metres using just tow ropes and raw power.
