Mark V «CHUM DEAL»
Permalink   


There's not much information about this photo. It was taken in Novorossiysk likely after the White Army's evacuation in March 1920.

There's a theory that the tank's name is «Chum Deal». This is indirectly hinted at by the unusual Russian inscription. The Russians (apparently with no knowledge of English) simply picked a name that sounded similar to «Chum Deal». The result was: «В чём дело?» [V chom delo] or in English: «What's the matter?».

Perhaps someone has more information. I'd appreciate any additions.
