Found this picture on Facebook. Captioned as WW1 era plating, to help tanks get over muddy ground.
I have a few doubts about this.
Bonjour,
Very good doubts !
On left, it was some american "Pierced Steel Plank" (PSP) for military airfield from the second world war.
On right, somme old crash barriers coming from a road . . . . . .
The seconde one, looks like WW1 french "Métro" iron steel for military bunkers in front line, but they was not rusty
and probably in galvanized iron.
