La Grande-Bretagne Perfectionne l'Organisation de sa Défense Mobile - Des Tanks en Manoeuvre
A column of light tanks with crews standing in the hatches advances through dust between pine trunks; the caption says Britain is perfecting its mobile defence. This is a captioned photograph sheet; the closest fit is card-stacking, since one staged manoeuvre stands for the whole of British armoured strength, with no figures or limits given.
