World War I or II Photo dating

I have some old RAF photographs and this one was among them, I was wondering if it could be World War 1 or 11.
I would be very grateful for any information on it.
Thank you

Great thanks, fits in with all my RAF photos from World War II then, I thought the tank looked older though.
Your information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That's not a Sherman of any sort - looks more like a Crusader Cruiser Tank?

Crew more likely to be Royal Tank Regiment than RAF.
