Description
Little Willie was a prototype in the development of the British Mark I tank. Constructed in the autumn of 1915 at the behest of the Landships Committee, it was the first completed tank prototype in history. The nickname came about as Germany's emperor of the time was called Wilhelm. Little Willie is the oldest surviving individual tank, preserved as one of the most famous pieces in the collection of the British Bovington Tank Museum.
Treat him with respect, I belive he is to tank lovers as God is to Christians.
You gotta be kidding me...
which you're apparently doing.
Nope, and I did say treat him with respect. He is the first ever tank. Ever. In Human History.
But how it's is an equivalent of an ICBM?
Because he is the father of all tanks, and as I said in the description, I see him to tank lovers as God is to Christians. Sometimes we need to be reminded of the origins of these machines that we love.
All tanks cower in fear at the sight of the all-father Willie.
it should be named odin than ....
I heard that the tank was the idea of Winston Churchill, is that true?
unlikely as Churchill was in disgrace over galliopli
Nope, it was churchill's idea.
