PURPOSE

  • Made to cross difficult terrains by using caterpillar tracks
  • It's was highly unreliable in WWI but it helped end the horrors of trench warfare and bring back mobility to the Western Front.
  • Started as 'Little Willie' but was soon developed into 'Big Willie' which was rhomboid in shape and had guns mounted in blisters on the side of the hull.
