Very impressive when it's all in green, Alwyn. Looking a lot more military now!

It's telephone wire for when the troop is camped in their bivouac overnight, to run an intercom between the tanks for secure and reliable communications.

I looked at the searchlight and decided that it falls under the heading of 'Must try harder - 4 out of 10'
