I stumbled across a photo of Scunthorpe's presentation tank that made it look like their tank was a supply or baggage tank (tank tender). I looked for other photos and found some, and, yes, Scunthorpe's presentation tank was a baggage tank that appears to have been used for training. Looking at the E...
A Dutch group of engineers are building a working 1:1 exterior replica of 8019 F41 Fray Bentos II Mark IV Male for the 100year anniversary of the tank action near their town. Any photos and information would be helpful (it has a modern engine so the crew can breath)
I stumbled across this pic of a Hedi. Is it new (I know that's ridiculous because it was taken about a hundred years ago, but you know what I mean)? Hedi on Alamy
? Trying to unscramble the Krupp 10cm (105mm) export guns. Krupp designed a 107mm M08 gun for the Russian Army, similar to the 10cm M05 gun sold to Turkey - anyone know how many guns were delivered to Russia? The Russians also ordered 120 107mm guns from the Japanese in 1914 - these were based on the 10cm T...
Greetings all. Could anybody please identify what the 'T' bar did on the N.S.L. on the top of the tank body? [Looking forwards from the turret]. Also the apparent circular indentation on the opposite side. My only conclusion is the 'T' bar could be for hanging the tow-rope on. Many thanks in advanc...
This picture and caption was published apparently late in the summer of 1918, after the second Battle of the Marne. The article as shown is contained in a National Archives file titled [Report on Captured German A7V Tank, "Nixen"]. It should be Nixe II, of course, more to come on that topic. Other c...
I think this train has featured in a lot of pics, but it's the first time I've seen this rather nice shot of it. Interesting that "armored" is spelt the American way.

The attached undated report was apparently written up in the summer 1920. The report as shown is contained in a National Archives file titled [Report on Captured German A7V Tank, "Nixen"]. It should be Nixe II, of course. The Ordnance Department had requested in early 1920 that the following tan...

I was sent some interesting information in regards to the Italian Pavesi Tank design of 1916. The correct name as it seems is the Pavesi Autocarro Tagliafili. Its intended use was basically a wire cutter not a tank as such. It’s design dates back to 1915, and the prototype was built in 1916 by Pavesi a...
Greetings everyone, One of my latest areas of interest is a number of topics concerning German chemical warfare projects near the end of the war. I'm fascinated by obscure topics such as these. Also, sorry if this is wrong forum section for this, miscellaneous seemed as good a place as any. ...

Hey folks - I came across this pic of a Stridsvagn M21 armed with a 37mm SA18 on eBay, and can't think that it's ever been posted before. I've read that some M21s were armed this way, but have never seen photographic evidence. It appears to be the entire, original mount from an FT.
