According to the museum’s records it was manufactured by Birmingham Railway Carriage Company; however, it is not clear what the evidence is for this. Other sources indicate that all Mark V tanks were built by Metropolitan Carriage and Wagon. This example was issued in July 1918 to 8th Battalion Tank Corps, the first tank battalion to receive the new Mark V, and had the number “H41”. In 5th Tank Brigade, it took part in the last British offensive of the First World War, from 8th August to 11th November 1918, Armistice Day. It was commanded by 2nd Lieutenant H. A. Whittenbury from 8th to 10th August, in support of 4th Australian Division south of the Somme, for which Whittenbury won a Military Cross. On 23rd August, 2nd Lieutenant J. G. De Courcy was the tank commander during the attack on Estrees; and on 29th September at Bellicourt the tank was grazed by a field gun shell on the left front horn which broke a track. Lieutenant T. R. Harding was in command. In 1921, the tank went to 4th Battalion Tank Corps, returning to Bovington in 1925. Used by Central Schools for demonstrations, recovery and towing, it was on work-shops strength for the Second World War, coming into the museum in 1954 – the year of its last overhaul. Apart from replacing some exhaust valves and piston rings, and fitting an electric starter, no major work was needed to put it in running order. It went to the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) on 14 July 1967 to march past Her Majesty the Queen when she took the 50th Anniversary Parade of the Royal Tank Regiment, of which she is Colonel-in-Chief. In 1985 it underwent minor restoration, and was then repainted after having its paint stripped. It then took part in the parade on 12 July 1985 when new Standards were presented to the Royal Tank Regiment by Her Majesty the Queen. The parade took place at Sennelager, near Paderborn, West Germany.
