One photo of the Mark V* №10123
Permalink   

Mark V* №10123 on the 25 Capel St. in Dublin, 18.01.1921.

Apologies, I’m having trouble uploading images. So, here is a direct link to the source. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/Het_Britse_leger_ramt_tijdens_de_Ierse_Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog_met_een_tank_een_kerkdeur_in_om_de%2C_SFA002001517.jpg?utm_source=commons.wikimedia.org&utm_campaign=index&utm_content=original

I think the image may have been too large for the forum software (1.2M). I took the liberty of scaling it down so the forum software will accept it.

The software which runs the forum is quite old and was written when storage was expensive image sizes important.

I knew the British Army deployed Whippet (Medium Mark A) tanks to Ireland but didn't know that Mark V* tanks were deployed as well.

Thanks for the uploading!

This problem disappears if I turn on a vpn - even though I don’t actually need one to send regular messages.

I was doubly pleased to find this photo, given that there is almost no information about the V*s №10101-10200.

I'm not convinced this is 10123. I have another photo of the same tank at the same time, which appears to show the serial as 10120.

The photo is from the Illustrated London News, 22 January 1921.

Indeed, in your photo, it looks more like 10120. 

Oh be a mysterious Mk-V* on a Dublin street...
