    There's some more pages typed in French if anyone wants me to post them?

    The gist of the report seems to be that even in December 1939 it was obvious that British light tanks were unsuitable and that more Matilda mark IIs were desperately needed - and this was before they had even seen the opposition. Really brings home how inadequate the kit was at that time.

    It would be interesting to see the French pages when you get a chance.
