Vickers Mk II Medium Tank

The British Vickers Medium Mark II was an interwar tank developed from the Medium Mark I, with improvements to layout and protection. It supported experimentation and training during the period when British armored doctrine was developing. Its importance lies in the evolution of mechanized forces between the wars, rather than a substantial Second World War frontline combat record. Exercises and training helped crews and commanders explore the possibilities of tanks cooperating with infantry, artillery, and communications. The Medium Mk II contributed to that institutional experience during a period of limited budgets and experimentation. Its importance is therefore not dependent on a long list of combat engagements, but on the practical development of an armored force between the wars.
