Unique ID: 876 Added to Database: July 2009 Last Edited: July 2009 Type (ID): Char B1 (6800) Model (ID): Char B1-bis (6804) Location Category (ID): Museé Des Blindés (6200) Location (ID): Inside Museum Building (6204) Serial Number: Registration: Name: “RHÔNE” painted on turret sides. Other Identification: Collection Reference: Links: References: Associated Tanks: Location History: (see map) 1: Renault S.A., Boulogne-Billancourt, Île-de-France, North East France, France (Primary manufacturer April 1937-June 1940) 2: Museé Des Blindés, Saumur, Anjou, Maine-et-Loire, France (Current location) This B1 shows some signs of battle damage, with gouges in its turret armour. It is in running order and has taken part in Carrousel displays. It came from the Etablissement d’Etudes et de Fabrications d’Armement de Bourges (EFAB) (Bourges Armament Study and Manufacturing Establishment). When it was moved it was missing its howitzer armament, which had been replaced by a steel plate. In 1983, however, one was provided by EFAB. This howitzer had been on exhibition there and may well have originated in this tank.
