Matilda I



The Infantry Tank Mark II known as the Matilda II

It served from the start of the war to its end and became particularly associated with the North African Campaign. It was replaced in service by the Infantry Tank Mk. III Valentine.

When the earlier Infantry Tank Mk. I which was also known as "Matilda" was removed from service the Infantry Tank Mk II simply became known as the Matilda.
