    No war time provision for helmets over turbans?

      It’s a religious thing about not covering the turban, Sikh, I believe.

        The gentleman is indeed a Sikh. Getting charged by a platoon of Sikhs would be terrifying.

          … getting charged by a platoon of a lot of things would be terrifying. Eg ducks, strawberries, decomposing clowns, “helpful” AIs trying to make your job easier, Boeing’s “HR” team, uncomprehendable eldritch monsters, regular monsters (ie humans), Smurfs, Tuvixs, big mommy dommy Amazonians, etc.

        Yes it is a religious thing, though it is more about covering the head not the turban. This is kind of half and half depending on how orthodox the sikh is. So many Sikhs will wear anything on their head, helmet, hat etc.

    Oh gosh, those were just regular wheels huh. No cogs.

      Uhm, yes? The road wheels on a tracked vehicle typically aren’t cogs, only the wheel actually powering the track is a “cog”.

        Uhhhhmmmmmm. lol.

        Yes, I was thinking of that powering cogwheel. But I realize, the little raised wheel there is probably the back of the tank, eh. Not the front driving wheel, which is probably a cogwheel out of frame.

        But yeah, the wheel with the cogs isn’t called a “cog”, it’s a “cogwheel”, with “cogs”. The cogs are the little “teeth”. 👍

          Just in case you’re interested, I believe the vehicle pictured is a Vickers Universal Carrier which has the driving cogwheels located at the rear:

            Ah, there we go! Thanks for digging that up for me 😊 Okay cool, so I assume that means the engine is also close there, further in the back?
