[14th HLI]

Not Regeneration...!  

I can get you a still from A Very Long Engagement if you want?

Steve.

[Landsturm]

"Deathwatch"... atmospheric, but not too good of a WW1-movie in my opinion.

[14th HLI]

Correct Landsturm!!

Yep, a Great War horror film, as if the real thing wasn't horrible enough!!  

Steve

Mmmm...it's harder guessing them than I thought!!

Landsturm................is yours Michael Collins?  

I'll have to stare at the tank ones a bit longer I think !!!  

Steve

[Landsturm]

Great, Steve! The Easter Rising 1916-scene from the beginning of Michael Collins
Now, when we got that right we can really concentrate on the tanks... hmmm, beats me... so far.

[14th HLI]

Brilliant film Michael Collins.......much better than I thought it was gonna be......I'm still flabbergasted I got it right tho'!!  

I'm sure I've not seen those tank films, I'm intrigued now.....where's Barry Norman when you need him?  

[Siege Gunner]

I bought 'Michael Collins' a few weeks ago for £2 at my local supermarket  and have been waiting for a suitable moment to watch it.  I think that moment may now have come ...

[14th HLI]

£2 a bargain....!!

Right a stab in the dark ref the tank.............Sergeant York?  

[14th HLI]

Right lets have a musical interlude...........song and artist?

No. The two stills are from 2 different films as I said. Made 16 years apart but using the same location! (and I think the same tank).

Right lets have a musical interlude...........song and artist?  

Jona Lewie, "Stop the Cavalry"?

[14th HLI]

Well done pop picker...!!!

[Sidearm]

Is one of the tank stills from "She goes to war"?

Gwyn

[14th HLI]

Whilst we're on the subject of tanks...................what's this film?  



Steve.

[centurion]

Is one of the tank stills from "She goes to war"?

Gwyn

The first is from the December 1943 film 'Victory' and was shot in Dorset. Another still shows the tank approaching a pill box the garrison of which appear to be exhibiting behaviors that would make Corporal Jones appear the model of calmness. During WW2 a number of books and films were based around the Napoleonic wars and in essence put out the message 'we saw off Napoleon and we'll see off Hitler too' I suspect that this did the same with the Kaiser substituting for Boney.

The second is from a 1927 film, likewise shot in Dorset. I'm not certain of the title but suspect it was simply 'The tank'

Source Life magazine  archives.

There is a photo from 1918 showing a mk V being painted in the same camo scheme and I suspect it became the standard film tank. If it was still running in 1943 it would seem to have escaped the main scrap purge that took off the remaining presentation tanks (bar 3) and a large part of the Tank museum's holdings. I wonder when it succumbed - be nice to think that under a tarpaulin at Shepperton or Ealing .... no a mere pipe dream.

[14th HLI]

Well I would never have got those two...........I wonder if they're available on download  

here's another clue to the one above.............
