Landships II

Bonjour,

Beautifull diorama but, tank number 61396 is a Schneider M2 number . . . . !

With this gun, possible tank numbers are from 62551 to 62610 (and some other models after 610).

Upon the ace was paint the place of the tank in the battery : ( I   - II   -  III   - IIII )

Number "31" was, already, paint smaller then the two letters "A" and "S"

The ace were Black, white, and some time red, but never in two colors . . . .

AS 31 tank camouflage were usually modified by their teams and this one is always en factory colors.

In January 1918, tank numbers for the second Battery were : 62726 - 62742 - 62742 - 62719.

These four tanks was with 75 mm Mdle 1897 (and not with 75 mm St Chamond) . . . .

In 1917, this Battery used only St Chamond M1 (with flat roof) . . . .

This model, with 75 mm St Chamond, was never used by AS 31 Group.

Bonne soirée - Michel
