In British service it was given the service name Chaffee, after the United States Army General Adna R. Chaffee, Jr., who helped develop the use of tanks in the United States armed forces.

My Tank In The Old Days
The tank was first used at the little known Battle of Flers. It was then used with less success at the Battle of the Somme. Though the tank was highly unreliable – as one would expect from a new machine – it did a great deal to end the horrors of trench warfare and brought back some mobility to the Western Front.
Favourite wartime vehicle of the French Resistance. This one, with Free French Insignia, seen in the parade at Pickering, North Yorkshire for the War Weekend celebrations 2009. Camera: SP570UZ

25.7.09 – Taken with a Fujifilm 10mp s8100. In the early hours of the 28th of April 1944 eight Landing Ship Tanks (LST’s), full of American servicemen were in Lyme Bay, off the coast of Devon, England. Their purpose to take part in Exercise Tiger, the realistic rehearsals for the D-Day landings in Normandy. The night turned into tragedy as a group of patrolling German e-boats discovered and attacked them. At the end of Exercise Tiger 946 American serviceman had lost their lives. The Sherman tank at Slapton Sands is a daily reminder to all of us of the tragedy of Exercise Tiger. Around the tank are other smaller memorials dedicated to the various American forces that participated. Further along Slapton Sands a memorial placed after the Second World War by American forces as a gratitude to local people who had to evacuate their homes so that the practise D-day landings could go ahead. Please pop along and view the web site for this amazing memorial at this site If I’m lucky enough to sell any copies of this picture, all my profits will be donated to the upkeep of this memorial.
Had a few days away, while away and dodging the rainy weather, we had a visit to Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre. This was about the only vehicle out of doors, but I had to take a shot, I remember having an Airfix model of the exact same vehicle… boys toys :-) Taken with a Canon 5D
Achilles 17Pdr Tank Destroyer – an American-built M-10 upgunned with the British 17 Pounder gun, certainly the best Allied anti-tank gun of World War Two. The muzzle brake and counterweight, and the increased size of the turret counterweight are the obvious signs to look for. Less obvious is the British pattern of track. Taken in the “awaiting restoration” vehicle park of the Danish Army Tank Museum.
Royal Air Force Mosquito fighter-bomber crews of 606 Squadron, detached to 2 TAF, in Northern France, 1944-45. Re-enactment, of course…

This is a group for Images of Military Vehicles, wheeled or tracked, land and amphibious. Especially catering for artists with a Military background, an enthusiastic preservation person or Images from a military vehicle show. It will cover vehicles in operation today right back to the earlier types of military transport. We are not expecting action war scenes but the vehicles themselves moving or static with personel or without. The vehicles must be the predominant feature.
