Usage of WWI Tanks
Permalink   


Hello all,

I think I know the answer to the question I'm about to ask, (bear with me please), but I'm not sure. Did any Commonwealth Countries, (other than Great Britain), use tanks in WWI?

This question not only covers the rhomboids, but the FT-17, Schneider and St. Chamond tanks.

I think the answer is no, but if possible, I would like it comfirmed.

Many thanks in advance.

Grant

Canadian 1St Tank Battalion were training on rhomboids at Wool when war ended.

There is movie footage of a bloke painting a maple leaf on a tank - I think it was a Supply tank called "Forage", but may be wrong about that. However, it suggests that at least some of the crew were Canadian, possibly the tank's commander. I'd dare to suggest that many crew members of many of the tanks were from the Dominions, although there were no specific Dominion battalions/companies.

Could this have been in preparation for Plan 1919 Gwyn?

Well, it was in preparation for hostilities, should they have continued into 1919...
