The
lengthening of the Mark V* was relized to be able to transport a section
of infantry intended to occupy the ground conquered by the tanks. The Mark V* was thus also a transport of troop (the first of history). However the conditions inside are so bad (poisonous gasoline vapors and weapons vapors - as noise, the vibrations and the heat of the engine and travel shocks ...) that the infantrymen fell often sick after a few minutes! However, its extended hull made it easier for it to cross the enemy trenches, the main object of its design (for a further assault against the Hindendurg line). |
