Valentine Tanks, Studland Bay!
Exercise SMASH was a live-fire rehearsal for D-Day undertaken at Studland, Dorset, in April 1944. Of particular interest was the testing of a new variation of tank.

During the exercise, seven of the tanks sank in Poole Bay, with the loss of 6 crewmen, shortly after driving off their attendant landing craft.
