Tank origin

Developed in 1928 by J. V. Carden and V. Loyd. The tank never entered service in Great Britain, but was exported to other countries, including China. In 1937, twenty vehicles of this type fought against Japanese troops at Shanghai. Soviet Vickers-based T-26 tanks were also exported to China, and 82 vehicles of that type were deployed in South China and Burma during 1941 and 1942.
