Just picked up this issue and it has a great article on British armour on Crete. Definitely worth it for Matilda fans or those with an interest in Crete.
Agreed, it's an excellent article. This is an additional photo not featured in the article from the Greece at WW2 FB group. One of the two abandoned Matilda Tanks at Maleme Airfield.
Hi Jonathan, That is Matilda GREEN LOANING. I have not seen that photo before. Nice one! Cheers Kevin
GNU III, then and now. The Matilda pictured was commanded by Serjeant A.J Gosnold. It was claimed the tank was abandoned after the Turret jammed, a claim substantiated by the testimony of Lt. Donald Haddon, the Commander of the Platoon from the NZ 22nd Battalion who were sent to support the attack of both tanks in the dry Tavronitis river bed.
