The opportunity to tag a ride on a tank was very welcome to many a footsore British infantryman in the Second World War, and photos show that a remarkable number of men could be accommodated on some tanks, if somewhat precariously on occasions. Naturally infantry did not engage in a fight while mounted in this way, but when on the move, and lacking the sheer volume of transport available to today’s troops, a tank ride was something of a treat. With the current trend for depicting troops in non-battle situations.
