FAST AS A
WHIPPET!
It’s easy to think of Great War tanks as slow, lumbering hulks that
were easily bogged down. But not so the Medium Mark A Whippet
which was intended to sneak through breaks in enemy lines, taking
the pressure off its heavy (often stuck) siblings. Built from 1917
and originally named the Tritton Chaser after its creator, it featured
two engines. It first saw action in March 1918 during the Spring
offensive and famously later in the Amiens offensive that August.
Post-war, they were used by British forces in Ireland and also in
Manchuria – they remained in service until around 1930. This is
A259 Ceasar II, the tank in which Cecil Harold Sewell won the
Victoria Cross in August 1918.
