| Reverse description | A dramatic battle scene commemorating the Battle of Cambrai (November 1917), engraved by Matthew Bonaccorsi, depicting two British Mark IV tanks advancing across a shell-cratered landscape amid billowing smoke and clouds. Infantry soldiers are shown in the lower foreground moving forward across the churned battlefield, evoking the historic first large-scale deployment of tanks in warfare. The opening line of Wilfred Owen's poem 'Anthem for Doomed Youth' is boldly inscribed across the upper field in graduated lettering: WHAT PASSING BELLS FOR THESE WHO DIE? |
