Greetings from Canada!

That's pretty well known - the Mark IV was No. 4066 and the A7V was #561 "Nixe".

There is a website run in parallel to the forum - Landships II which has a memoir by 2nd Lt Mitchell - commander of No. 4066.

Charlie

Hello everyone!

�

It's been absolutely fantastic to stumble upon this page!� For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by the Great War.�� Being a modern day Armoured soldier, naturally I am fascinated by the historical roots of the tank.� Lately I've been reading a lot into the tank v tank at Villers Bretonneux.� Ultimately, I plan on eventually building a diorama reflecting this first armour engagement.� But that will be an on going project.� After reading posts I see there is an abundance of knowledge, but can anyone tell me the names of the tanks that squared off against each other on that April morning?� I've been looking around and have yet to find a solid answer.

�

Anyway, I'm extremely glad to be part of this forum!� And look forward to learning and expanding my knowledge of this little known chapter in Armoured warfare.

�

Cheers!

�Damn, used the link to my local copy of Landships II again (sounds of self-beating)

Fixed now.
