Hotchkiss ? France ?

Sorry not France or Hotchkiss. [:(]


This model of tank was purchased from the country of origin in 1941.

The suspension is a dead givaway for the country of origin.

This was a 3 man light medium tank.

Polish 7TP? Manufactured in Poland but I believe it was based on the Vickers tank?

No. [:(]

Specifications are all wrong for both the Polish 7TP and Vickers Mark E.

The Polish 7TP (7 ton Light tank)

The Vickers Mark E (6 ton Light tank)


The tank was a 12.5 ton "Light Medium Tank".

I think a clue is required here!

maybe where they were constructed

hmmm, a clue is hard for this. the answer is a person.

this has nothing to do with the list of USN ships question, I just ran across this for the first time and like the quote...

who said this:

"The enemy is in front of us, behind us, to the left of us, and to the right of us. They won't escape this time!"

I rather like the reckless optimism in that quote.
 
Were all those ships commanded by the same person at some point during the war?
 
Or did that Kilroy fellow mark off his 'Kilroy was here' chalk when they were under construction to show that whatever he was overseeing had been doen correctoly?
