The tankette was captured on 1 July 1945 by the 2/9th Battalion of the 18th Infantry Brigade, who handed it over to the 1st Australian Armoured Regiment to keep it running. The tankette was the first of its kind to be found in the South West Pacific area by Australian troops. On 27 December 1945 it was transported to Australia on the SS Winchester Victory.
In the background is a wrecked Catalina aircraft from No 42 Squadron.
The tankette is now held in the collection of the Australian War Memorial with accession number REL/16287.
