La Grande-Bretagne Tient Parole. Embarquement, dans un Port Britannique, de Tanks pour la Russie
A photograph of British tanks lined up on a quayside as a crane lifts one aboard a steamer, captioned 'Great Britain keeps its word' and naming Russia as the destination. The tell is the single selected scene standing for a whole delivery pledge, with no quantities or dates, so the claim of kept promises rests on one image.
