Summary

[edit]
Description UK - Infantry Tank Mk.II, (A12) Matilda II Mk.IIA with a 2 pdr (40mm) gun at the Bovington Tank Museum, March 1998. Known as the 'Queen of the Desert' as when first used in the Western Desert in WWII its heavy armour proved invulnerable to Italian tank fire whilst its small, but high velocity, gun was able to penetrate Italian armour easily. However, when the Africa Korps was shipped to North Africa the heavier German tanks (Panzer Mk.IV) turned the tables although it was still a match for the Panzer Mk.III.
