France's Tank Contribution to the War 



The tank all 

 France is talking 

 about. It is fitted 

 with heavier guns 

 than the British 

 tanks, but it has 

 not made any par- 

 ticular name for 

 itself in the fighting 

 so far. The usual 

 type of caterpillar 

 drive is used 



Major Bossut and 

 Lieut. Boucheron 

 and the new tank. 

 The photograph 

 was taken just be- 

 fore the tank broke 

 down inside the 

 German lines. 

 Rather than see it 

 fall in enemy hands 

 Major Bossut 

 blew up the tank 

 killing himself
