#Tank Corps

[walkingthroughthisworld]

By 5 October, they had restored twenty-two to working condition. Three days later, the tanks supported the 30th Division in an attack on the village of Brancourt. Here, effective cooperation between the infantry and tanks, favorable terrain, and good weather conditions resulted in a remarkably successful attack. Nine tanks, less than half of the tanks that went in to action, were immobilized by German artillery fire or mechanical failure. Second Lieutenant Paul S. Haimbaugh, an officer in Company C, described his experience as his tank neared its objective point:

It’s a mile to your objective now, but it’s a mile of thrills. You get shot-up, put out a half dozen machine-gun nests; clean up another sunken road with machine guns placed every ten feet along it. A one-pounder in a hedge scares you with several well-placed shots before it ‘goes west’ [is destroyed]. Some German artillery observer, way back, spots you and chases you over the landscape, dropping a shell, now in front, then in back of you. Here is your objective! You wait for the infantry to come up and your crew enjoys a breath of fresh air.

Very neat tiny patriotic pin with glass enamel. Probably silver- or other white metal plated. I would guess it is pre-WW2.

Sketch by USMC Sergeant Jack Carrillo, showing an Amphibious Assault Vehicle prior to crossing the New Saddam Bridge in Baghdad, Iraq on April 7, 2003. 

The road ahead was impassable at the time due to anti-tank mines that were later cleared.

Image description: A sketch of an Amphibious Assault Vehicle that is not moving. The vehicle is large and blocky, with a tilted-up front end and tracks like a tank. 14 people stand or sit next to, on top of, or behind the vehicle. They are all wearing bulky clothing, vests, and helmets.

I'm beginning to realise that the idea of a 'tank' as we understand it, or indeed any other of the specific classifications of armoured vehicle we have, probably doesn't and shouldn't exist in the 12 Worlds. There's a lot of room for alternative development strands and lines of thinking here for me, if / when I decide to properly go down them.

Something to do when I get the time.
