World War I Mark IV Tank Driving in London - Tank 100

Round Trafalgar Square, circling Charles statue we go. WW1 era Mark IV tank is seen again in the very place where it was first unveiled for the public in 1916. Wargaming.Net & The Tank Museum: 15.9.2016 Trafalgar Square, London, United Kingdom. This Mark IV replica was originally built for Steven Spielburg's movie "War Horse". It was acquired afterwards by The Tank Museum so the by-now fragile, original WW1 era tanks can enjoy their retirement. Tankspotting (TV) is dedicated for the heavy metal battlefield.

On 15 September 1916, during the Battle of the Somme, the British Army sent tanks into action for the first time changing the nature of warfare for ever. The men who took part in that action were young and inexperienced – the pioneers of a completely new kind of warfare. The new mysterious weapon – the Mark I tank – 49 were earmarked, 32 made it to the start line and, of those, only 18 went into action. For many of the men in the tanks, it was their first experience of war. For some, it was their last. 150,000 men fought at Flers and there were 30,000 casualties, including those of the Heavy Section of the Machine Gun Corps. To pay tribute to the centenary, the Museum’s Mark IV replica traveled to Trafalgar Square to mirror the ‘Tank Banks‘ of the First World War. Past and present met at noon, when it then drove to Horse Guards to meet the Challenger 2 – the tank currently used by the British Army. The Royal Tank Regiment were joined by the Household Cavalry, representing the move from the warhorse to the horsepower of the tank. Trafalgar Square has been chosen to mark the centenary for the part it played hosting `Tank Banks` during the First World War. To raise funds for the new tank army, the government sent tanks ‘on tour’ around the country in high profile War Bond drives, where the new ‘wonder weapons’ attracted huge crowds.Trafalgar Square hosted several `Tank Banks`, as they were known, with politicians and celebrities climbing aboard to deliver speeches. Tank Museum Curator David Willey said; “It is fitting that we should use the tank as a ‘prop’ to honour the memory of the brave and pioneering soldiers who fought in this first ever tank battle. Their experience sheds a different perspective on the conduct of the war and the experience of the troops that fought in it.” Commemorations continued two days later at The Tank Museum in Bovington at the Tank 100 event. Before a display of historic vehicles since the First World War, the British Army shared the vehicles currently in use. The public also saw Ajax – Britain’s newest armoured vehicle – for the very first time. The day closed with a re-enactment of First World War trench warfare using the Mark IV replica alongside the Gordon Highlanders and Great War Society, after which the Royal Tank Regiment and the Challenger 2 came onto the arena. Following a moving ceremony and minutes silence, a replica First World War aircraft scattered poppies over the soldiers and tanks with a simultaneous poppy explosion. The events were a huge success; thank you to all who were involved for helping us create such a fitting commemoration for the brave men of our first tank crews, who are honoured in the Tank Men exhibition at The Tank Museum.
