Sturmmann1918 Posted 27 April , 2017 Share Posted 27 April , 2017 Hello! After sifting through my large photograph collection, I came across a photo Ive never been able to find any information on. The photo shows tank C41 appearing to be stuck within a trench/ditch. Since there is a German posing in the photo, Id say the tank had been abandoned. Also, snow appears to liter the ground, supporting it was knocked out during the winter. Can anyone shed some light on what happened to the tank, where, when, and who the crew was? Not sure if its possible, but many of you on here are great when it comes to this. I have had no luck myself! Ive attached the photo. Thanks!

pjwmacro Posted 3 May , 2017 Share Posted 3 May , 2017 C41 was a reserve tank at Cambrai 20 Nov 17. Commanded by 2Lt C H Sewell (subsequent winner of the VC) it is believed she was hit/lost a track crossing the Hindenburg Line near Banteux. (Subsequntly captured in the German C/Atk). I am not aware of any fatal casualties nor of the crew names . I don't believe the battle sheet has survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
