Description: | Tank Corps exercises, probably at Bovington Camp in Dorset, 1918.
The training ground is flat with deliberately constructed obstacles. A Medium A Whippet drives repeatedly through shallow flooded holes. A Mark V Hermaphrodite spins on its own axis. A stripped-down tank is repaired. A Whippet races a Mark V Male, others of both types joining in. All the tanks circle, showing that some of the Mark Vs are Hermaphrodite. A line of Mark Vs, including two recovery tanks, waits under tarpaulin. Two Whippets are joy-ridden. Mark V Stars set out for the training area. A line of Whippets is driven in to the parking area and hosed down. More Mark Vs covered with tarpaulin. Whippets and Mark Vs continue to practise - one Mark V is a Command Tank with semaphore arms.
