This Schneider was shipped to the United States in 1919 for testing and evaluation. It was on display in the Ordnance Museum of Aberdeen Proving Ground with the Saint Chamond until they were both returned to France in 1987. They were transported from America to Le Havre on the container ship Atlantic Compass. This tank was restored to running order (source: Wheels & Tracks).
