I've never seen before this photo of a Mk. ? tank. Of interest is the view of the rear light, which I've read as mentioned but I've never actually seen on a picture.
Thanks! I'm always confused outside Mark ones! Also of interest is the inside view and dismounted sponson door (I guess it's propped against the side of the tank, ahead of the sponson). This proves that the cannon and the rear Lewis gun couldn't be operated at the same time (or else the Lewis gunner might be knocked by the gun)

This is a great photo showing, as it does, the additional armour plate at the rear of the tank. The weather shield around the louvre and the size of the U-bolt fittings. Thanks.

130 "Nelson", one of the War Bond tank banks that toured Britain. Scenery in the background looks similar to that in a different picture of the same tank (published in "Britain at War" magazine, August 2013), which according to the caption means the scene is Trafalgar Square in London, late 1917.
