Default Cruiser Tank pictures from old book

Hi All

Last couple of pictures of Australian Cruiser Tank, sparked a memory of photos in a Tank Book printed in the 1980s which I dug out and found it was written by COL Robert J. Icks, Ordnance Corps, U.S. Army who apparently wrote quite a lot on tanks and armored vehicles, web search on his name yielded following tidbit

Icks Collection 70 linear feet
Collection of photographs, books, booklets, and manuscripts covering all aspects of
armored vehicles worldwide. Collected and collated by COL Robert J. Icks, Ordnance Corps,
U.S. Army. The photographs are divided by country and vehicle type. They number well over
10,000. (60 linear feet). Books, pamphlets and manuscripts include rare and one of a kind
items in such languages as French, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, Finnish, German, Italian,
and English, and are almost exclusive in their dealing with armor and armor development from
1914 to 1980. All included also is negatives for each of the photographs used in the collection.
