An iconic moment frozen in time: a British Army Mk IV tank fearlessly conquering a treacherous gradient during testing at Oldbury in the West Midlands on 4th April 1918.

The West Midlands landscape serves as an imposing backdrop to this scene, accentuating both the challenges faced by these tanks and their triumph over adversity. This image captures not only a military exercise but also represents resilience, innovation, and progress amidst conflict.
