Description
English: An 'ark' (bridging Tank) Moving into Position at Dawn

image: British armoured vehicles moving in orchard country on a misty early morning. In the middle ground to the left are two tanks, with a Bren Gun Carrier slightly before and to the right of them, all ready to move off. In the centre foreground an officer is walking away, about to pass the Bren Gun Carrier. In the left foreground a group of figures look on and wait. The ARK moves into position

to bridge what could be a stream or canal. In the background there is a group of farm buildings.
Date 1944 (Second World War)

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
