  • British Equipment Losses at Dunkirk and the Post Dunkirk Situation
    British equipment losses at Dunkirk and the post Dunkirk situation The Dunkirk evacuation represented massive losses in materials and equipment for the British army. In this article we are going to take a look at the amount of equipment that was left in France, the amount of equipment remaining in the United Kingdom and the ability of the United Kingdom’s industry to replace the losses suffered. Below is a list of the artillery lost in France. Field Anti-Tank Medium Artillery Heavy Artillery Super-Heavy 4.5" 6" 6" 8" 9.2" 9.2" 12" 25/18pdr 18pdr 2pdr 25mm 4.5/60pdr 60pdrs How How Gun How How Gun How 704 216 96 509 98 221 32 19 13 13 27 2 4 Tank losses in France. Light Light VI Matilda I Matilda II Cruiser Total 331 77 23 184 It's clear to see that the amount of material lost was significant, particularly that of anti-tank and medium/field artillery. The total number of tanks lost seems high but, fortunately for Britain the majority of these were obsolete light tanks and the older Matilda I infantry tanks. The number of Cruiser tanks lost was however quite significant, representing more than half of the total number of Cruiser tanks available. I have as yet not been able to locate figures for anti-aircraft losses but I suspect they would be relatively light as the number of weapons sent to France was quite small. While the total amount of equipment lost is interesting, it does not give a good indication of the situation Britain was faced with after the fall of France.

    Battalion Bits BT15: Battalion Bits 33 Norway Spruce Street, Stittsville, ON, Canada K2S 1P3 British Expeditionary Force (BEF) Matilda I Phone: (613) 836-6575, e-mail: [email protected] Background The British Army started the Second World War with two types of tanks; Step 6. The raising of the suspension means one additional track link is required per Cruiser tanks seen as armoured cavalry designed to engage other tanks, and Infantry side, but there are extra ones provided in the kit. Follow the kit instructions, but add tanks designed to act as support to infantry trrops. In 1939, there were two infantry an additional single link (P6) at the top front between the P8 and A2 section. I had a tanks in service, the small A.11 which was more like a movable machine gun position slight gap at this point even with the additional link, but this area is well hidden and the A.12, a larger tank with a 2 pdr gun. Both were heavily armoured. behind the side plates. The first version of the A.12 (Matilda I) differed from later versions in several areas. Because it was thought that it would be used in similar muddy conditions to Step 7. The additional armour thickness in front of the driver's visor should be WWI, it had its suspension raised by 6 inches, and was fitted with a tail skid to assist removed as this was a later feature. Carefully grind the area down so it is nearly flush in trench crossing. The engine mufflers were inside the hollow skid.
