Brief history:
One of such command vehicles on the other side of the front was the British Grant Mk I medium tank, which spacious interior provided ample toom for command duties. There was so much room inside it indeed, that some were carrying the full array of armament, with only ammunition supply depleted. The most renown of the Grant Command Tanks was the ‘Monty’ – Field-Marshal’s Bernard L. Montgomery’s personal mount during the African campaing of 1942/43.
