Centaur Mk IV Close Support Tank

A stunning example of the Centaur Mk IV Close Support tank used by the British to provide infantry support. Fitted with a 95mm Howitzer the Centaur also had its hull machine gun removed. Centaurs saw service with the Royal Marines Armoured Support Group from D-Day onwards. Often their turrets had graduated markings round them so that infantry could more easily direct fire by relaying the target's angle to the crew inside.
