Summary: Churchill Crocodile tanks belonging to one of the 141st (The Buffs) RAC's tank squadrons demonstrate the terrifying effectiveness of their flame-throwers in the countryside around Bretteville-sur-Odon .
Description: I. Two tanks from The Buffs 'A' (?) squadron, seen here simulating combat procedure by operating in a pair, squirt liquid flame over ground and onto a ruined farmhouse while on the move.
II. At a filling point, one of the Crocodiles' 6 1/2-ton armoured trailers is replenished with FTF No 1, a thick, jelly- like and highly inflammable fluid.
