Schneider M2 from Aberdeen Museum
Permalink   


Bonsoir,

Page 14 from French Tanks of Word war 1 (Osprey-New Vanguard n� 173 ), Steve Zaloga�submit a good photo from Aberdeen's Schneider (now in Saumur's museum since 1985).

On rear tank,�is written : "�FXCV 217", which is, perhaps :

������������������������Foreign Exchange Combat Vehicle (number) 217

If "217" is well the end of the original french tank serial number, this tank is the number 61217.�

Inside the Groupe AS 10, this Schneider was the third tank�from the second Battery.

The tank commander was the Mar�chal des Logis Rochard and its last fight was M�ry on June 11, 1918.

Some other information here, on forum "pages 14-18"

Bon Dimanche - Michel�
