Camouflage on Mk IVs
Permalink   


Does any one out there have any details of camouflage on Mk IV tanks? No Mk I or II please. I know of one camouflaged Mk IV and I want to see if it's a one off (and I'd like to interpret the colours from the monochrome photos).

Have put a longer post on the GWF. But for readers of Landships the only British camouflaged Mark IVs of Great War vintage are Britannia (one of the US touring tanks) and a tank with an experimental dazzle scheme. I know of no other tank with a scheme like Britannia's.

Hi Centurion,
No doubt you have already seen the attached,I've tweaked it in Photoshop but I must be honest I cannot see any camouflage.

Yes thanks, it was taken on 25th Oct 1917 in New York on the (delayed) Liberty day parade (it had been rained off the previous day). There appear to have been two Britannias - one camouflaged and the other not. How ever before pronouncing absolutely finaly on this I'm double checking all the dates I have of the various photos etc hence trying to find out when the camouflage and name were applied to one tank.
