Hi Patches, Great image, That large front wheel was actually made of wood with metal outer ring and inner hub, it was the first tank with a fully rotating turret. Hardly fits our understanding of a ' TANK ' though. !!!. I believe one of the current CEO's of Renault has a WWII tank collection. !! regards lewis. ..

ArmorCurator Posted September 18, 2023 Share #55 Posted September 18, 2023 The Camouflaged M1917 is one of a number of tanks that were used for the Fifth Liberty Loan of 1919 (Also known as the Victory Loan) The tanks used were painted in a number of different camouflage patterns, depending on where they were painted. The tanks were sent out to each of the 12 Treasury districts - the number ranged from 8 to 12 per district - and they were transported place to place by train and/or truck with veteran crews. They hit all 48 states, as well as at least one that was sent to Hawaiian Territory. April - to around September 1919. After the tours the tanks were repainted into the standard Quartermaster olive-drab and issued to the various tank battalions and companies.

Could you please tell me what the unarmed AFV on the far right is? It would also be interesting to know whether EM/NCO wearing the visor cap is the AFV commander or the senior NCO in the platoon.
