002 - A4 Mounted Print -C54 Chanticleer - Mk IV Male Tank

Description

This is my depiction of a Mk IV Tank of C Battalion, The Tank Corps at the Battle of Cambrai 20th November 1917. A day etched in history as the Tank proved itself to herald a new generation of warfare, a day still celebrated today on that date by the serving soldiers and veterans of The Royal Tank Regiment.

Back then crews gave their tanks names, it could be simply a name clutched from the air with which the crew would identify with or maybe a sweethearts name at home in 'Blighty' maybe in the hope of bringing the crew good luck. The names became formalised and held by each Regiment and issued to tanks in the subsequent years. RTR vehicles today still carry some names born in WW1 while others are more modern.

This Tank being 'Male' was armed with two 6pdr guns and 3 machine guns.
