Description
(Original Caption) A handful of British tommies on maneuvers at Salisbury Plain nonchalantly hoist an enormous tank on their shoulders and move it to another part of the "battleground." A Herculean feat? Well, not exactly: The tank is only inflated rubber, one of the several dummy weapons skillfully deployed to baffle the enemy. Some 12,000 men and 4,000 vehicles (real ones) of Britain's territorial army, roughly equivalent to the United States' National Guard, took part in the fall maneuvers.
