It would be different to have a go at the mkIV supply tanks with sledges. However trawling the internet I have yet to see any clear pictures of either the 'top tower' or the sledges. Anyone out there knows how the towing was achieved/
When I was a wee nipper, one of the first Big Books I bought was 'Tanks & Weapons of World War I', to me at that age a real eye-opener with articles on the Paris Gun, Big Bertha and, of course, the early tanks. It was packed with wonderful colour illustrations by the great John Batchelor, including thi...

This might be one for Michel or Fran?ois. There's a small note in P. Malmassari's book, that says: 12 mars (March) 1917: D?part du g?n?ral Mourret. D?part normally means "departure," but I gather it's a polite way of saying "death." Since he disappears from the story rather ab...
