Default Tank Corps Overalls WWI

Can anyone tell me which book this illustration comes from?

And does anyone have any details from official records of the introduction/use of the brown tank crew overalls?

Thanks,

Jon

Jon,
Certainly has the look and style of an Osprey publication from their Men-at-Arms, Warrior or Elite Series.
However I do not know the specific volume!

Hi Jon, unfortunately I don't recognise it either, but I do have a very similar marking on a helmet. This helmet I've always thought was ww2 but I know very little about British helmets could it be ww1? best wishes Mike

Now identified thanks to Peter.

The helmet is in my opinion WW2 and markings such as the one shown are very difficult to identify. Afraid I can't help with that one.

Jon
