I wonder what the inside of a WW1 tank looks like...

@thetruecardigankid I'm not sure what you're trying to say. New Zealand only had a population of 1 million people in 1914. They contributed more troops as a percentage of their population and lost more. America was an industrialized nation which could afford to mobilize troops faster. But it was mid-late 1918 before any US troops actually showed up fighting in France. NZ divisions played vital roles defending Rheims in 1918 while US troops simply took huge casualties due to their inexperience.

@Adonnus100 Lets do a little math here.
New Zealand in the 4 years it was involved in the war contributed around 120,000 men to the war effort and a little under 70,000 became casualties (18,500 of which were killed). All that in 4 YEARS
America was only in the war for 1 year and 7 months, in that time they contributed 4,355,000 men to the war, with 323,018 men becoming casualties (116,516 of which were killed) All that in 1 year 7 months!
So who contributed more to the Allied Victory in WW1?

@Adonnus100 Didnt need an American Division, why waste all that man power when they could just send a Brigade instead, primarily the Fourth Marine Brigade ;)

Seems like a hunk of fun to travel with down a busy highway.

ANZAC and French divisions stopped the German advance in 1918 directly in front of Paris. American divisions were nowhere to be seen.

@Kkoga987 Only the first Mark had them. Later designs did not need them.

@Adonnus100 . That may be overstating it a bit, even though New Zealand was in it from start to finish and for its size made a huge contribution. American involvement at the end did help the outcome.

@Kkoga987 I think they did use some Bulldozer parts, and made the rest.
