Tanks are needed north of Tamandu, Burma, so the Royal Indian Navy transports them along the nearest river by using their LCM Mark III (Landing Craft Mechanised), a task made dangerous due to the fact that if unloading is delayed the landing craft can fill with water and sink.

On board an LCM a Sherman tank is carried to shore; the turret turns as it approaches the shoreline. The tank drives off the LCM. The LCM is now empty and moves down river. A Sherman is backed onto the LCM and the front ramp is raised. Another Sherman arrives along a road and is then backed onto an LCM directed by a soldier. A loaded LCM floats down river. On board, men lean and sit on the tank turret.

Notes

The dopesheet identifies the tanks as being of the 19th Dragoons though this is incorrect. The 19th Lancers were attached to XV Corps. The 82nd West African Division is also identified.
