in a New British Tank.) ROYAL ARMORED CORPS went crashing through underbrush and knocked down trees a foot and a half thick with a terrible non-' chalance. -Their armament is almost iden- tical with the tanks, but the cruisers depend more on speed and maneuverability to resist enemy fire. As the general tendency toward tanks of this size becomes' more pronounced, the British are developing newer, faster models'' whinh litprallv ran drive circles around the ponderous old-timers that first made, their appearance on the Somme in 1916. Cavalry Is Mechanized Britain's cavalry regiments now are mechanized and operate in armored fighting formations which are a part of each armored division. Their job is strictly reconnais-.

sance, and in one regiment, a lan-'. cer unit operated with such dash and courage in the battle of Flan- ders that it won special praise from Lord Gort and the French commanders. Training for the royal, tank corps is arduous. First there are 16 weeks in which the candidates, even those selected as-cooks and clerks, learn to fire tank weapons and use the wireless with which every tank is equipped. The chief difficulty in selecting candidates is that every fighting service and civilian war industry wants the type of men suited for the Ra.C.

truck drivers, mechanics and wireless operators. Swarms of Accompanying the tanks and armored cars in the armored divi sions are swarms of fast new scout cars called "dingos" which move as fast in reverse as forward. These, along with obsolete light -tanks on which production has been halted, and tiny "beaver-ettes," perform light cavalry roles at liaison and reconnaissance. The fire power of. a single tank battalion now equals that of the 1914-18 world war's infantry bri-gade.

The British claim that Germans cannot land heavy tanks by sea or air if they attempt an invasion, and that their tanks will cut the Germans down before they get organized. But there is no complacency in the tank corps. Instead, effort is directed toward newer and faster models of the weapon which Britain invented," and the "years of the locust" in which Britain lost her leadership In armored fighting vehicles are being made up by thousands of designers and thousands of men and officers. (Editor's note: War Correspondent Drew Middleton, a native New Yorker, has tasted war in many diverse forms. He was with the British expeditionary force in Belgium and France during the blittr krieg last spring: he has undergone German bombng raids in Eng land and toured the North Atlantic with a British destroyer on patrol.

British officers confidently ex pect, these tanks many of new and secret design to smash either a Nazi invasion attempt or deal a decisive stroke on the European continent at some future "day of revenge." The British expeditionary force left 471 tanks and machine-gun carriers in France; but now, starting from scratch since the withdrawal from Dunkerque last spring, British designers have built up an entire new group of armored with Mostest Men" "Fear naught," the motto of the royal tank corps, has been balanced in the new construction with "Get their fustest with the mostest men," with the new tanks emphasizing speed and fire power as never before.

Army tanks are divided into two categories the tank for infantry, which operates exclusively with foot soldiers, and the cruiser tanks, which form the spearhead of the armored divi sions. Neither the small, puddle- jumping whippet tanks nor the lumbering 50 and 60-ton monsters beloved of newsreels are in evi dence. Both types are out of favor in Britain modern army: The light tanks because they don't carry enough armor and can't handle rough country, and the big tanks because they are too slow. The tank is a formidable weapon, its armor is so heavy that in the Flanders campaign it took direct hits from German 77- millimeter field pieces with no effect the denting of its ar-j mor. 5 The tank's armament in cludes a small gun which can toss a 12-pound shell 2,000 yards pierce the armor of the most tanks, and it has a secondary weapon in tne new Besa ma chine-gun which pumps metal at the' rate of 750 rounds per min ute.

Biggest Tank Is Slow Speed is not essential to the tank, which precedes in attacks and only occasionally fights independently, but it can swing along at close to 20 p. h. Its crew of four gunners, wireless operator; driver, and commander are interchangeable. Cruiser tanks are the darlines the royal tank corps. As large the tanks, they weigh much less and are more than twice as fast.
