Very interesting photo.
By the way, it seems that 2 of the soldiers at the rear of the tank are speaking into radios/telephones. Now I would have thought that one radio is enough for such a small section of men. But I do remember reading somewhere, that in the present 'war' in Iraq that there was a problem with infantry troops communicating with M-1 Abrams crews. Consequently, a special exterior telephone was fitted to the tanks to allow for easier communications "from the outside to the inside" of the tank.
Did M-4 Shermans ever have such a telephone fitted during WW2?
