@@steveyountz9184fort benning, fort moore now, has a open collection every year. Their first open house is the last weekend in April this year with a live fire. Ive been going there since 2019 and its always a privilege to go there and see the vehicles in person
The Mark tanks remain awesome vehicles! But the story behind this tank is just great. My instructor in tank school allways said: a tank is not a great weapon, the crew is. Very cool!
I visited The Somme battlefield last June where the first Tanks were used in anger, and visited the Tank Memorial on the road between Albert and Bapaume. The landscape is vast and gently rolling, so even a 'hill' was in fact just a gentle rise in the topography.
Great video, thanks for posting. My father was a captain of a tank company and was stationed at Fort Knox. I bet he saw the tank shown in the video while he was at Fort Knox.
This was really interesting video about WWI tank. Always liked these so much. Wish there would have been more interior shots or diorama about each "battle station" like gunner, commander. Thank you so much for the video, looking forward to see more nice tank videos.
Getting sharper and more professional with every video Sofi! Very well put together! I’m going to look up some information on this particular tank and battle.🇺🇸
I enjoy your videos, just wondering if you ever did 1 on the M10 (sp) after the war called a wolverine. My grandfather was a loader in Europe. I never been able to find if 1 is in a museum. I always find the M36. Is there 1 at this armor museum?
I have a picture of myself standing next to that tank at Ft Knox. After graduating from C-1-1 19K Armor OSUT in February of 1983. I was assigned to C co 1/66th Armor 2nd Armored Division Ft Hood Tx. After watching your video I realized that my unit’s lineage is related to that Tank from the 301st. Now here is were it gets crazy. 20 years ago I moved from my home state of Florida to Long Island NY. Yes a Beautiful woman was the reason. I live 2 miles from Brookhaven National Lab which started as Camp Upton. Camp Upton was the training camp for the 301st Tank Battalion. I found that out after researching my unit’s lineage. My wife’s Great Great Grandfather who was from Ridge NY a mile from Camp Upton trained at Camp Upton . Can you guess his unit??? Yep the 301st Tank Battalion. Thanks you for this Great video
Got to have a look and walk thru a mk 4 tank a few years ago. It was used supporting our Australian troops. Quite a cramped vehicle . This one has a similar colour scheme with the red and white stripes. Interesting video.
Excellent content, we have mist you , good to have you back. Hope you can fined the time to make more like this. It is very interesting foe us in the UK to get a new perspective on familiar tanks.
Always an outstanding video and presentation. Great close up shots. A couple of interior shot would have been great for us model builder folks. Thank you Sofilein.
Good to see you again. Very informative video. It was interesting to hear the history of this tank. I hope you will be able to create more new vids. I understand it is a lot of work. Thank you.
I can’t help but wonder if my great grandfather, an early tank gunner in the 301st served in this tank or trained in it, or helped work on it in camp between engagements. Humbling to see this old beast so proudly displayed. She’s a bit different than my M1 was! Thank you Sofi for these great posts! People don’t show these early tanks often and some have forgotten the brave men that crawled into these steal beasts. This really touched my heart and reminded me again of my great grandfather’s courage. Thank you.
Thanx, Sofi. I appreciate you taking the trouble to research some of the more non-mainstream tanks. Shermans & Tigers are great, but giving your audience a wider, more historic perspective is an indicator of your commitment to tank lore.
Very informative video Sofi , interesting to bad it's just a static display , would be great to see it fully restored and a runner , Thanks for sharing !
It'll never be run, the working MkV at Bovington has been retired from being driven due to the strain on the mechanical parts now, they are just too fragile now.
Well done!!! The man running this operation should be allowed permanent posting there if he so desires... He obviously knows his stuff... And genuinely seems to care as well...
I remember seeing this tank at Ft.Know in the 80s .. Sofi ,very good video and alot of history of that tank . Glad to see you back at Ft.Benning !!! Big Wave and Smile to you...
charlie... strangely enough, the first British experimental 'tank', 'Little Willie', built in 1915, was originally designed and produced with a top mounted rotating turret. During initial trials it was realized the turret was causing the tank to run way too top heavy, so the War Department decided to remove it. The vehicle is still in existence, preserved at Bovington Tank Museum, in the UK. The place where the turret was positioned is clearly noticeable, replaced with a heavy duty bolted on armor plate.
Not really correct - the French (and British, Americans etc) were already fielding 3700 Renault FT-17 tanks during 1918, the most built of any tank type during the war, which had rotating turrets with main gun, driver at the front etc basically the design that 'won' and all modern tanks were based on this tank, rather than the far larger British Mk1-V's, and French Saint-Chamonds that were slower, had more MG's etc
Hey Sophie. Are you planning on coming down to Florida for the Volusia valor days. Near Daytona it is going to be a fantastic event with an incredible selection of fully operational, American armor and it’s not super far from where you are.
I have an event that weekend so unfortunately I'll have to miss out. Still planning my year though so if there are any other events I should try for, let me know!
@@Sofilein well, down here in Florida at the Zephyrhills Military museum they’ll be in an event Veterans Day weekend. this will be its third year and it’s always a great event.
Sherman was my favorite as a kid, but i always thought ww1 tanks and their stories were very interesting. Rob is a really knowledgeable guy and so are you...and very beautiful. Enjoy these videos.
ya, way cool, something to save there alright! Gate monument, that's a real service vehicle and a hero in its own right! its the right thing to do too-have it in the museum for sure. Good job on making the video as well well done.
Thank you Sofi, and thank you Mr Rob Cogan. Proud of our history, not always Pax Americana, but maturing as a waking arsenal of democracy in 1918 and now fighting against domestic fascism.
Someone in one of the earlier comments suggested an interior video with crew position explanations and I think it's a great idea! I'll see what I can do
Спасибо всем нашим русским друзьям. Мы все разделяем наш острый интерес к этим великим войнам на европейском континенте и к тому влиянию, которое они оказали на историю наших стран и военнослужащих.
Welcome back as it is a while i haven't seen you with this very interesting video on one of the first American MK 5 tanks that also conducted the very first nocturnal attacks on the Hinderburg lines with the very courageous remaining crew to continue fighting on foot! But what about German. The Tankgewehr M1918 that was vicious as hell firing against vision slots??
Now with JAVELIN missiles , HIMARS and DRONES , tanks are very vulnerable on the battle field . But I think that they are still the capability most used for seizing territory .
My grandfather drove Mk5*s while serving in the 15th Heavy tank battalion. They were used at Amiens.
I love this and the fact that I'm allowed to volunteer at the collection.
Haven't seen you in awhile. Good your still alive! Haha
@@Brokencedar Lots of stuff has been happening with family and such.
@KJ4RMZ Understand See you at the open house. Be safe brother.
@@Brokencedar What open house?

This curator did a great talk. Hope you can get him to do more.
This has got to be one of the best ever history stories of a tank
Thanks Sofi
Take care , Stuart in Ireland ☘️
Outstanding presentation. Thank you Sofilein and Rob Cogan! You both are a blessing to the Army Armor community. I send you a salute!
The Mark tanks remain awesome vehicles! But the story behind this tank is just great. My instructor in tank school allways said: a tank is not a great weapon, the crew is. Very cool!
It's about time you have a clip on my Favorite Tank...
I visited The Somme battlefield last June where the first Tanks were used in anger, and visited the Tank Memorial on the road between Albert and Bapaume. The landscape is vast and gently rolling, so even a 'hill' was in fact just a gentle rise in the topography.
They started off as hills 😅
Always appreciate that Sophie sticks the expert front and centre.
Yes new stuff, hope all is well with you Sofi! Keep the videos coming.
Thanks!
I'v been to the Bovington Tank museum many times and i'd love to visit this one as well , much love ❤ from the UK
What a neat way to present this incredible artifact!
Excellent video! Man’s a great narrator. Love your sweater!
Great video, thanks for posting. My father was a captain of a tank company and was stationed at Fort Knox. I bet he saw the tank shown in the video while he was at Fort Knox.
Yay Sofilein!... good to see you back on TH-cam!
This was really interesting video about WWI tank. Always liked these so much. Wish there would have been more interior shots or diorama about each "battle station" like gunner, commander. Thank you so much for the video, looking forward to see more nice tank videos.
A crew-focused video for these tanks is a really good idea, I'll see what I can do
@@Sofilein Thank you so much. I would like to see crew video of Mark tanks if possible but no pressure :)
Rob Cogan is always good. Really great. Thanks. I have not seen the US used Mark Vs. Cool.
Getting sharper and more professional with every video Sofi! Very well put together! I’m going to look up some information on this particular tank and battle.🇺🇸
Thanks, Sofie, and his enthusiasm matches yours!
Awesome tank, presentation, and channel! Thanks!
Also: The world needs a 1/48 scale model of a Mark 5 to go with the 1/48 scale WWI airplane models!
Sofis videos are always so fun and interesting especially her tonk history videos . I always learns something new from watching her channel
I enjoy your videos, just wondering if you ever did 1 on the M10 (sp) after the war called a wolverine. My grandfather was a loader in Europe. I never been able to find if 1 is in a museum. I always find the M36. Is there 1 at this armor museum?
Yes, they do have an M10 there! I did a little walkaround video some years ago for modelers but no other vids since
Yep and she has a wonderful personality.
@@tonyromano6220 that she does she's an awesome gal and I always look forward to her uploads
@@Sofilein thank you, pappy was a loader in 1, he was in Normandy.
Delighted to see this again, now with proper restoration after Ft. Knox. Thank you Sofilen! 👌

I wonder how AMAZED tankers from WWI would be to see an M1 Abrams, or any other modern MBT.
I always enjoy your videos, even more when you highlight the ancestors. I hope you get to feature even more of these vintage gems!
Mr. Cogan knows his stuff! Great presentation. Thanks!
It has more battleship vibes than tank vibes. 😮
Got to have a look and walk thru a mk 4 tank a few years ago. It was used supporting our Australian troops.
Quite a cramped vehicle . This one has a similar colour scheme with the red and white stripes.
Interesting video.
I liked the detail that was gone into tank 9591😊. Great video Soflein😊
Awesome! It's great to hear stories about our first actions in this war. 🤠👍👍
Good to see the tank well looked after and with an interesting story to boot! Best wishes from the UK.
I did my driver/maint. course at Bovington too for Centurion and Chieftain.
Always liked the look of the Mk IV and Mk V WW1 tanks. Thank you!
good museum
Very good and above all a very interesting video of the Mk. V tank of the British Army. Thank you very much and keep it up. 😊👍
Excellent content, we have mist you , good to have you back. Hope you can fined the time to make more like this. It is very interesting foe us in the UK to get a new perspective on familiar tanks.
Saw this tank when I was at Ft Knox in '96.
Great presentation by Rob Cogan.
First time I've watched you , as an ex British armoured cavalry I have to say I am mightily impressed. Much kudos to Ms Sophie.
The Historical relevance of a machine is always fascinating, or I believe it should be
Always an outstanding video and presentation. Great close up shots. A couple of interior shot would have been great for us model builder folks.
Thank you Sofilein.
Nice video. Impressive history for the tank and it's crew.
Great video Sofi and Rob! Keep up the good work!
Great video. Very informative.
tanks a lot😁

What a beast....crew of 11 !

Sofi, thank you for another great, educational video. This is why I love coming to your channel. I actually learn things.
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm glad he mentioned the "mud" because I couldn't understand why they would allow it to be there but it made the tank seem somewhat operable.
it was so cool to learn about the history of 9591 and its crew!
Well done!!! The man running this operation should be allowed permanent posting there if he so desires...

glad to see Sophie
Love videos with Rob.
Thanks Sofi, great video!
Great vid Sophie, both yourself and Rob do awesome narration of your vids
He is right. This tank was built like that specifically to cross over the trenches in ww1. It was later that turrets were built onto tanks.
charlie... strangely enough, the first British experimental 'tank', 'Little Willie', built in 1915, was originally designed and produced with a top mounted rotating turret.

Always such good videos

Great video Sofi. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration. Would have liked to see inside the tank,perhaps another day.
Someone in one of the earlier comments suggested an interior video with crew position explanations and I think it's a great idea! I'll see what I can do
Love your tank videos. They're all so fantastic.
Thank you very much!
Wait... MicroPros is still making games?! How did I not know this?
An excellent video :) Many thanks and best wishes from this side of the pond!

An amazing artifact and an amazing history. WWI armour is so rare. It's amazing to see the real deal with provenance.
Yay, a post from Sofilein! It's been a minute since you last showed up in my feed: how ya been? Looking forward to watching this...
Outstanding work
Thanks for the awesome video!!!
Bravo.....great video
Also inside that WWI Tank it gets really hot inside because everyone is so very close to the engine. It's also slow about 3-4 mph.
A Scotty reference on a WWI track video? Brilliant!
A stirring tale- thank you

Very intersting Video and a fascinating piece of history. The Mark V* looks to be in a very good condtion.
Hell of a story!
Great history lesson about the tank.
Saw this tank many times when it was at fort Knox.
😊
Tanks for the video.
5:50 is that sponson not completely pulled out?
Is there any way to find out about 'Open House' days, at the tank museum, other than social media? Is it somewhere on the Ft. Moore website?
No, only their social media at this point. A website is on the way, though.
@@Sofilein Thank you........😮💨
Nice suits, all ya'll
Is this where the Patton armor museum that used to be at Fort Knox is now?
No, this is down at Ft. Moore in Columbus GA
Excellent work
