Mk tanks in Europe during WWII
Permalink   


I have a small collection of Mk photos that were taken in Europe during WWII. Please can someone tell me where exactly these photos were taken?

There are a lot of photos of Mk. V in the USSR. These are definitely not them.

Pics 2&3 show MarkV* tank in France 1940, the other are Mark IV. None were send in Russia or eastern Europe, but many were displayed in french or belgian cities as monuments after WW1 and later scrapped by the Germans during WW2.

Pic #2 has a serial number - #9002 - this was a Mark V. It may have been one of the two Mark Vs in Kiev.

Mark V* serial numbers ran 9501 to 10250

 The second photo shows a Mk V* (it is too long for a Mk V and the machine gun mount above the side hatch behind the sponson is visible). So it could be #96_2.

One kind man on Reddit suggested it could be Camp de Chalons (Camp de Mourmelon) in Châlons-en-Champagne.
