Cartoon illustration. How tanks got their name
Cartoon How did tanks get their name?
This cartoon would make a suitable illustration for a children’s educational book.
Why armoured vehicles are called “tanks”.
The tank was developed by the British during World War I.
In order to conceal their purpose during their development the armoured vehicles were called tanks because they resembled water tanks.
In my illustration the tank is being used as a watering can because of its association with water tanks.
