Description: 
Attached: "S/230076 COPYRIGHT UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD, N.Y. ENGLAND SENDS TANK TO HELP LIBERTY LOAN. This British tank, as yet to receive its baptism of fire on the western front, which is its ultimate destination, is now in New York to help us in the campaign to raise the second Liberty Loan. With the tank has come a crew of veterans of the tank warfare against the Teutons under the command of Capt. Richard Haigh, of the Royal Bershires, a youth of twenty-four who has already won the military cross. This photograph was made at the pier at which the tank was landed and shows six of the crew of eight. As soon as they get it ready the tank will move over to the sheep pasture in Central Park where it will be on exhibition beside the captured U-boat "U--Buy--a--Bond" as a graphic lesson to Americans of the need of purchasing Liberty Bonds. 10/24/17"
