| Description |
French WW1 era medium tank The Saint-Chamond was the second French tank to enter service, but despite a large production run of some 400 between April 1917 and July 1918 it was not entirely successful. The extended nose, added to the small size of the tracks, would lead to considerable problems with crossing trenches. Its main armament was a 75mm gun in the nose, whilst the crew of eight also manned the four machine guns fitted around the machine. The type served until the end of the war in a number of roles until replaced in French service by newer British designs. This is the sole surviving example and is an improved model from mid-1918. For many years it was part of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds Ordnance Museum in Maryland, United States, but was gifted back to France in 1987, along with the Schneider CA-1. It has since been restored to running condition and attended TankFest 2017 in the UK. Seen on display in the ‘France 1914-1918’ hall.
