Landships II

Apologies in advance for this. I had to tell someone. Stanley Brenton von Donop was, despite his surname, a Lieutenant-General in the British Army. I suspect he might have been a descendant of Count Carl Emil von Donop, a Hessian colonel who fought for the British in the American War of Independence....

Dear friends, ? I hope that the pictures I posted may be of some use to you ? I am sorry that quality of some of the picks is bad, but the light I had in the museum was unfriendly because of the showcases ?

While browsing thru Google Books looking for info on WW1, I came across a short article (The Panzerkraftwagen - A German Version of the Tank)?in the Journal of the American Field Artillery, Vol 49, 1918 describing the examination of the first captured A7V.? Not too much that we don't know, but I'll tr...

A while ago there was some discussion about the relationship between the two above?gents and the origin of the trade name Caterpillar. Here's some more stuff. It goes over some old ground but I think some of it is new, even if it throws up some apparent contradictions. From Classic Caterpillar Crawle...

1.?has at various times found in the Internet two photos. What of them present - with the name of the tank or without? [URL=http://radika...

Could I ask for people's opinions on?this photo?? It shows a Mark IV Female, but with the unusual Crew number I.W4. 9th Battalion tanks always seem to have a full stop (period for our US readers!) after the Battalion I, so I'm assuming this is a 9th Battalion machine.? But "W"?? Could this me...

This Monday, Jan 26th, BBC2 TV is showing the second part of a series called The Great War in Colour. This isn't the same as the Channel 5 series of a few years ago, World War One in Colour. Monday's episode is about Albert Kahn, the man who funded the autochromists. Unfortunately, Part One was last week....

Hi all! My? "TANK JOY RIDES" (after the war ex-Tank Corps officers?put a platform onto a Mark IV and made tank joy rides?at Southend-on-Sea)?diorama takes shape. I would like to add a Smer Packard Laundaulet 1912 car for this street scene. Unfortunately the?Smer?model kit is not very de...

I am in the process of downloading various old publications from Google Books?and have uploaded what I have so far to a filesharing folder, here: http://www.4shared.com/dir/5331808/3765b3b5/Maritime__Military_Books.html? Because I am also involved with various naval forums, there is a mi...

I don't remember seeing this before. Sorry if it's an old favourite. Anyone identify it?

?Again a bit off topic, but this true descendant from the early landships,?a scratchbuilt PB 4 Rusian armored amphibious car (prototype) is nevertheless an interesting idea for being commented.? Of course it had a welded structure, ( was among the very first vehicules which abandoned the riveted...

Can somebody clearly reproduce this inscription (in German, certainly). As I do not know German, I can make on a diopama gross blunders that will be indecent. ?http://www.ioh.pl/forum/download.php?id=27374 Thanks.

The name is indistinct in the photo. Finally I found the film clip but the n...
