A Matilda II tank brought into service in the late 30s and extensively used in the early years of the war and especially in North Africa.
Heavily armoured, but slow and prone to mechanical problems.

No idea of the names of the workers in the photo though.

Great boots. Wrapped around the boot and then tied. Carlin has another pair of laces just like those at home.

Buckets of ice cold water with sponge. That'd soon get the modern players back up on their feet.

"Like a gallon of maggots"

Maggots.

I can imagine Honey G rapping to that:
"When I say "Gallon", You say "Maggots"
"G" to the "A" to the " L" to the "L" to the "O" to the "N"
It's "Gallon", "Maggots"...

You're wrong Kentblade, it was a fantastic side.

I can go along with that Robby Blade.
