EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of innovation and determination during the First World War, as Colonel Johnson conducts an experiment with a British Mark V tank at Dollis Hill in north west London. Dating back to 1917-1918, this image showcases the Colonel's efforts to improve the tank's functionality by fitting it with rope-sprung tracks. The removal of the sponson and louvre in this test allows a glimpse into the tank's interior, revealing the intricate machinery and components that powered this formidable war machine. The Mark V tank, a mainstay of the British military during the Great War, was known for its heavy armor and firepower, but its tracks were a source of constant frustration due to their tendency to derail. Colonel Johnson's experimentation with rope-sprung tracks aimed to address this issue, offering a more flexible and resilient solution. The use of ropes instead of metal tracks would provide better traction and reduce the risk of derailment, allowing the tank to traverse challenging terrain with greater ease. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the military engineers during the First World War, as they sought to improve the capabilities of their tanks and give their soldiers a decisive edge on the battlefield.
