Yank Tanks Make Debut in Burma
BURMA--To the American and Chinese jungle fighter troops in Burma have been added new mechanized units - American tanks. Not being used in the Hukawng Valley, the tanks have played a prominent part in driving back the Jap forces with resultant Allied gains. The Chinese soldiers who man the battle-wagons have been trained by Americans and are fully equipped to use their vehicles to the best advantage. The tanks reached the battle area in Hukawng Valley by traveling over the newly constructed Ledo Road, from Assam. To the Valley, the following pictures show the tanks in use in their new territory.

Emerging from the hills around Assam, the tanks wind down the Ledo Road en route to the battle front. The thatched huts are evidently part of a behind-the-lines Army camp.
