Hope these are okay to post - acquired these, a few for myself, and decided to sell the others, also happy to swap for models etc. They are cut out from period magazines/newspapers and have a cardboard mount, very nicely done, and look good as they are or with a frame too. Looking for £5 per print, postage extra but they're light so should be cheap. These are great, period depictions of Tanks and artillery
8 inch x 6 inch prints
"ARMOURED MONSTER THAT THERE WAS NO WITHSTANDING
During the fighting to the south-east of Arras the "tanks" were taken by their crews wherever their irresistible force could be best employed. Many thousands of yards of wire were flattened out, dug-outs broken in, and machine-gun corners destroyed by them in the fighting along this front"
"BRITISH "TANK" VERSUS TEUTON CONCRETE
Near St. Julien, on August 20th, 1917, the British infantry wash eld up by a concrete fort; a "tank" came along, and in a trial of strength between the landship and the concrete the latter was hopelessly outmatched."
(this is a photograph, clearly a Mk IV Male, C24)
"LEVIATHAN OF THE MODERN BATTLEFIELD
British "tank" going forward to destroy German machine-gun positions during hte battle along the Menin Road. In the memorable attack on "Clapham Junction," on August 22nd, 1917, a "tank" rendered valuable aid to the Cornishmen who captured that fort."
(although showing a Mk IV, there is a wheel behind it - i'm not sure whether it's supposed to be a steering wheel like on the Mk I's or just a bit of battlefield detritus)
"MIDLANDERS AIDED BY A TANK TAKE TERRIER FARM
On October 4th, 1917, some Midland troops, well-nigh exhausted with a long day under fire in terrible mud, but still doggedly attacking, were held up at Terrier Farm. A Tank came to their aid and fired a broadside at the concrete fort, the garrison of which then surrendered"
"ONE OF H.M. "LANDCRUISERS" FIGHTING ITS WAY INTO WANCOURT
On April 12th, 1917, "tanks" played a great part in the forward movement of Sir Douglas Haig's armies, especially in the capture of the villages of Wancourt and Heinel on the Cojeul River, where two of these landcruisers carried on what was described as a forty hours' duel with the foe."
(showing six 6 inch 26 cwt howitzers)
"AN IRON DAM AGAINST THE ONCOMING FLOOD.
Battery of British howitzers in action. A thick hedge along which the guns were lined served as a screen for the position which the artillery occupied temporarily while delaying the enemy's advance until the last possible moment before it withdrew to the next convenient point"
10 inch x 8 inch prints
(photograph showing a 6 inch 26 cwt howitzer)
"Moving a British heavy gun up to the front by man-power."
(photograph showing a 60 pounder)
"STRIKING ILLUSTRATION OF A 60-POUNDER GUN AT WORK ON THE BRITISH FRONT"
The seventh picture,notice the railway tracks.This type of thing made the WDLR men mad, as as you can imagine the damage to the track and the track bed would have rendered it useless for it's intended purpose.There are lots of examples of trains being derailed due to this type of damage. Tanks cased even more damage !!!!
