I'm not sure what uniform/cap badge the man is wearing but they definitely look like post-war photos - the debris is battered and rusty and has obviously been there a long time. The tank is a Mark IV female and would be impossible to identify unless there are other photos of the same wreckage. This is quite likely as some of the old tank wrecks were frequently visited and photographed. Unfortunately this one doesn't ring any bells with me, but someone else may well recognise it, or at least suggest a location. John Hi John, This is the tank Angostura, Menin Road Ypres! I have many postcards in my collection of this tank. Greetings, Stijn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrisc8 Posted 30 September Author Share Posted 30 September (edited) I know it`s not British but i like the photo with a guy pouring wine into a cup and it`s a good photo of a French F17 tank. The track looks to be off on the front. The British Army used 24 FTs for command and liaison duties, usually with the gun removed. This one has a MG on the front. Photo from my collection.

morrisc8 Posted 24 October Author Share Posted 24 October (edited) The British Army used 24 FTs for command and liaison duties Tank-Char signal or TSF: a command tank with a radio. "TSF" stands for télégraphie sans fil ("wireless"). No armament, three-men crew, 300 were ordered by the French of which 188 were produced in total. The wire antenna was stretched between the retractable mast on the wheelhouse and the frame at the end of the “tail”. Radio communication reached up to 80 km. Postcard from my collection.
