EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of transfer from water to land for a Cruiser Tank Mk IV (A13 Mk II) of the Royal Tank Corps. The tank, with its distinctive hull and turret, is being loaded onto a Mack tank transporter, circa 1940. The image offers a glimpse into the logistical challenges of moving heavy military equipment during wartime. The Cruiser Tank Mk IV, also known as the A13 Mk II, was a key component of the British armored forces during World War II. Its agility and speed made it an effective tool in the rapidly changing battlefields of the time. However, its transport was not a simple task. Tank transporters, such as the one seen here, were essential for moving these powerful machines from one location to another. The Royal Tank Corps, an integral part of the British Army, was responsible for the operation and maintenance of armored vehicles. Their expertise in handling and deploying tanks played a crucial role in the success of various military campaigns. This photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes aspects of warfare during the 1940s. It underscores the importance of logistical support and the intricate coordination required to keep the military machine running smoothly.
