Written By Liveryman CHRIS SALAMAN - Early Tank Transportation Honorary Archivist

The initial development of the tank in warfare was something entirely new to opposing armies during WWl, and required additional thought when the need to move these somewhat heavy cumbersome pieces of armament became necessary. Motorised mechanical equipment was still in its infancy, but new designs and techniques were forever fast becoming available. Our allies the French had developed a light and fast tank (long before the heavy British models that fought at Cambrai in 1917). The French model was the Renault FT17, that stayed in production well after the hostilities ended, as it was a small and highly manoeuvrable piece of armour. But even as small as it was, it still weighed 7 tons and provided a formidable piece to transport (bearing in mind that the average military truck of its time carried 3 tons!). Renault thus adapted a standard 3 tonner to carry the additional weight by adding a third wheel to the back axle amongst other things! When the heavier tanks arrived a totally new concept of thinking had to be adopted to carry these new and heavy weapons! Vehicle Hire Specialists SAFER VEHICLES General & Municipal FOR LONDON?

INTRODUCING

The Goulasch Cannon Written By Liveryman MIKE STONE

One of the more interesting items in the Cart Marking Parade this year is the old mobile field kitchen known as a Gulasch- kanone – which translates literally as a Goulasch Cannon.

Some background to this fascinating exhibit. In 1892, Karl Rudolf Fissler of Idar-Oberstein in Germany invented a mobile field kitchen for use in theatres of war. German soldiers during World War I quickly dubbed it Die Gulaschkanone.

The ‘cannon’ part of this nickname is due to the mobile kitchen’s close resemblance to an artillery piece when disassembled and towed behind a horse or motor vehicle, with its long chimney tilted and posing as a cannon barrel. The ‘goulasch’ part is derived from the iconic Hungarian dish which was prepared on the mobile field kitchen.

The goulasch cannon was designed to function as a large pressure cooker, ideal for quick cooking and stewing using limited amounts of energy and could operate on fire wood, coal, oil or whatever combustible Goulasch Cannons are still used by fire Today’s equivalent, the larger mobile kitchens material was available. departments and humanitarian organisations (now commonly called “flying kitchens” such as the Red Cross to provide warm food because of the greater speed with which they This particular example is thought to have and beverages to large crowds.
