This particular vehicle was known to be commanded by Lieutenant Jim Massey, and had the brigade "A" squadron triangle on the turret and the name "Audacious" in yellow, as the 51st Royal Tank Regiment were the second regiment in the brigade. The 25th Tank Brigade sign was carried on the nearside of the bow plate.
Designed as a heavy infantry tank to replace the Matilda II, the Churchill prototype was completed in June 1940 and the type entered production in June 1941. The design was largely influenced by the British Army's experiences with trench warfare during WWI. As a result, the Churchill was a large, heavy (38 tons), and relatively slow machine, built to traverse heavily cratered landscapes to take on lightly armored infantry. The small turret significantly restricted the size of armament that could be fitted to the Churchill but it's heavy armor made it much more resilient than contemporary allied tanks. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
