Hi my name is Ash, im 42 from North Wales. I'm disabled and use a wheelchair. I'm interested im military history especially world war one. I go to military museums sometimes with my friend and he knows about tanks and aircraft from ww1 and ww2. His knowledge amazes me but he tells me he's forgotten a lot over the years. I wish i had knowledge about tanks, i've recently bought a book called Tank Hunters by Craig Moore, im reading about the mk5 tank of ww1 now. What are the important bits of information that i need to know as it's interesting? What im trying to do is, pick out information from my book that i want to remember, like this for the mk1 tank,
