Renault type tanks
I have a colour video of them in training at Camp Borden. It is a long video and shows Barracks and our early MA jeep and many early CMPs. The clarity is striking.
Over the years I have seen five of these tanks bought and sold in Ontario. The worst condition was an exploded wreck we dragged out of Borden for Bill Gregg. He had one other at the time which as I recall had been lengthened. One near Lindsay actually ran.
A lot of them were scrapped at a Foundry in the West end of Guelph. Up to about 1980 there was still an empty turret in a back corner of the yard. The American who bought the two Gregg had actually traced where he got the tank from and went back and got the turret. True...Saw it strapped to a skid for shipping.
