rast Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 All four pictures show British MK.IV tanks captured by the Germans. Pics 1 and 4 were taken in the Somme Valley near Bray-sur-Somme between late March and say July 1918. Pic 2 and 3 belong to the aftermath of the Cambrai tank battle in November 1917. Pic 2 shows F.22 "Flying Fox" crashed into the bridge at Masni?res. Pic 3 shows B.28 "Black Arrow" at Fontaine-Notre-Dame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rast Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 French geography, sometimes I get confused. - I'm sorry... - Not Bray-sur-Somme but Brie, also on the Somme, yet further south. Vehicles of the 5th British Tank Bn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
