content: Charcoal sketch on paper of a tank demonstration for the General Staff College. A large group of American soldiers, members of a tank battalion, march down a hill carrying their guns and bayonets as four light tanks advance in the same direction in the distance. There is a large cloud of smoke hovering in the air in the distance and a large hole in the ground, possibly a shell hole, in the foreground.
