Tank Attack
The AWM is often prone to making errors in captions, so sometimes you have to take them with a grain of salt, however, that said the terms "Anti-Tank" and "Tank Attack" seem to have been fairly interchangable in Australian Army usage. This means you will often find examples like references to "4th Anti Tank Regiment" and also "4th Tank Attack Regiment", this being the one, self-same unit. Confusing? When talking about ordnance, it would seem logical to use the official nomenclature when referring to something, but some bright spark thought up the phrase "Tank Attack" as sounding more agressive, and it found it's way into all sorts of descriptions.
