[QUOTE="emilioteles, post: 1694979, member: 3144"] The crew of a British Light Tank Mk.VIB having a "brew up" and cooking their Christmas dinner beside their vehicle, in Libya, North Africa. 31st of December 1940. (note - they are sitting on fuel or water containers and using a cut in half, empty can (a "flimsy" - the infamous 4-Gallon non-returnable petrol tin) for heating the food, referred to at the time as a "Banghazi Fire". The tanker seated in the middle is holding a can of 'Pilsner Lager'.) (© IWM E 1501) Capt. G Keating - No 1 Army Film & Photographic Unit. The Mk VIB was also used in the North African campaign against the Italians late in 1940 with the 3rd Hussars and the 7th Armoured Division. Late in 1940 the British had 200 light tanks (presumably the Mk VIB) along with 75 cruiser tanks (A9, A10, A13) and 45 Matilda IIs. An attack by the 3rd Hussars on 12 December 1940 resulted in the tanks getting bogged down in salt pans and severely mauled. The 7th Armoured Division had 100 left on 3 January 1941 and 120 tanks on 21 January at which time they were used in flanking far into the rear and gathering up scattered Italian troops, sometimes joining or leaving the main attacks to the Cruiser and Matilda II tanks.
