She is seen with her left side to the camera and her turret turned to the rear, away from the flail, as she churns past a deep furrow in the foreground with a dark line of pine trees behind her under a heavy grey sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Crab was a Sherman V tank fitted with a rotating drum of heavy chains carried on arms in front of the hull, which beat the ground ahead of the tank to set off mines and tear through barbed wire. Unlike earlier flail tanks, which needed separate engines, the Crab drove its rotor from the tank’s own engine and kept its 75mm gun, so it could fight as a normal tank once a lane was cleared. Crabs equipped the 30th Armoured Brigade of the 79th Armoured Division, made up of the 22nd Dragoons, the Westminster Dragoons and the 1st Lothians and Border Horse, and they cleared paths through the beach minefields on D-Day, six weeks after this photograph was taken, and in every major assault through to Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis print is ideal for Royal Armoured Corps and British Army veterans and anyone with a connection to the 79th Armoured Division, the 22nd Dragoons, the Westminster Dragoons or the Lothians and Border Horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
