Light Tank Mark VIB from th eleft

Here we see the most numerous British light tank of the Second World War, the Light Tank Mk VIB, from the left, showing the relatively bulky superstructure compared to earlier light tanks. The Mk VI saw combat in France in 1940 and in North Africa, but in both places proved to be very vulnerable to heavier German tanks.

Picture from the author's collection. The tank is in the collection of the very impressive Bovington Tank Museum
