I visited The Somme battlefield last June where the first Tanks were used in anger, and visited the Tank Memorial on the road between Albert and Bapaume. The landscape is vast and gently rolling, so even a 'hill' was in fact just a gentle rise in the topography.

I have a picture of myself standing next to that tank at Ft Knox. After graduating from C-1-1 19K Armor OSUT in February of 1983. I was assigned to C co 1/66th Armor 2nd Armored Division Ft Hood Tx. After watching your video I realized that my unit’s lineage is related to that Tank from the 301st. Now here is were it gets crazy. 20 years ago I moved from my home state of Florida to Long Island NY. Yes a Beautiful woman was the reason. I live 2 miles from Brookhaven National Lab which started as Camp Upton. Camp Upton was the training camp for the 301st Tank Battalion. I found that out after researching my unit’s lineage. My wife’s Great Great Grandfather who was from Ridge NY a mile from Camp Upton trained at Camp Upton . Can you guess his unit??? Yep the 301st Tank Battalion. Thanks you for this Great video

I can’t help but wonder if my great grandfather, an early tank gunner in the 301st served in this tank or trained in it, or helped work on it in camp between engagements. Humbling to see this old beast so proudly displayed. She’s a bit different than my M1 was! Thank you Sofi for these great posts! People don’t show these early tanks often and some have forgotten the brave men that crawled into these steal beasts. This really touched my heart and reminded me again of my great grandfather’s courage. Thank you.

@cuhurun 6 ай бұрын

charlie... strangely enough, the first British experimental 'tank', 'Little Willie', built in 1915, was originally designed and produced with a top mounted rotating turret. During initial trials it was realized the turret was causing the tank to run way too top heavy, so the War Department decided to remove it. The vehicle is still in existence, preserved at Bovington Tank Museum, in the UK. The place where the turret was positioned is clearly noticeable, replaced with a heavy duty bolted on armor plate.

@OldFellaDave 6 ай бұрын

Not really correct - the French (and British, Americans etc) were already fielding 3700 Renault FT-17 tanks during 1918, the most built of any tank type during the war, which had rotating turrets with main gun, driver at the front etc basically the design that 'won' and all modern tanks were based on this tank, rather than the far larger British Mk1-V's, and French Saint-Chamonds that were slower, had more MG's etc
