I've seen so many clips over the last ten years that I'm having difficulty remembering what I've seen before. On the principle that seeing something twice won't do anyone any harm and it's better than not seeing something you should, I enclose a couple of links:

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=72a_1422210439      Includes lengthy sequence of Holt Mk VIII SPG, US railway gun, well-know shots of FT trials in USA, and about 6 minutes of Mk VIII tank trials.

http://www.buyoutfootage.com/pages/titles/pd_dc_473r1.html  AEF training with FTs, inspecting Mk IV, and training with Schneider

Usual apologies for any repetition.

I think the Holt SPG in the video is a rare beast - it seems to be the Ordnance Dept design which added a 75mm M1916 gun to a 2 1/2 ton tractor.

This seems to have been a proof of concept vehicle.

Regards,

The Mark IV is 4642, a tank supplied to the USA on 7 November 1918. The film of it trying and ultimately succeeding in climbing the bank is well known, but I've not seen the clip of the crowd around it before.
