US Model 1917 Camouflage patterns
Permalink   

Greetings,

I thought forum members may like to see these photos that show different camo schemes on Model 1917 tanks.

The photographer's caption on the first image reads, "Stuck? No! Just playing."

Picture number 4 shows an interesting camo pattern.

I hadn't realized it until just now when viewing my own post, but I think no. 2 and no. 3 are views of the same tank!

What do you folks think?

Attached are three more photos of a US Model 1917 in which an angular camouflage pattern is visible on the turret.

Thought I'd join in.  Here's a photo of a tank of the 328th Battalion.  The photo was taken at Fort Jesup on 9th April 1919.

Great photo Gwyn! Is the fellow on the right wearing a leather tanker helmet?

I'd agree - the camo scheme in both pictures appears to be identical, and it's highly unlikely that two tanks would be painted so precisely similar. I've marked up some obvious points of comparison on the attached (cf picture 3 in the above-quoted post).

Here is another photo showing a decent front view of a camo US M1917.

Recently acquired a new view of an M1917 with an interesting camo scheme.  Caption on the back describes the soldier as "Walter...He went over the top. Of the lunch counter!"

Attached is a photo of a camouflaged  M1917 being used for recruiting. That is the famous "Treat 'em Rough" poster mounted on a board sitting on top of the tank. No inscription on the back of the photo.
