Mark V* 9591- One of the FIRST American Tanks That Went to War 

My grandfather drove Mk5*s while serving in the 15th Heavy tank battalion. They were used at Amiens.

This curator did a great talk. Hope you can get him to do more.

I love this and the fact that I'm allowed to volunteer at the collection.

This has got to be one of the best ever history stories of a tank Thanks Sofi Take care , Stuart in Ireland ☘️

The Mark tanks remain awesome vehicles! But the story behind this tank is just great. My instructor in tank school allways said: a tank is not a great weapon, the crew is. Very cool!

I wonder how AMAZED tankers from WWI would be to see an M1 Abrams, or any other modern MBT.

Always appreciate that Sophie sticks the expert front and centre.

It's about time you have a clip on my Favorite Tank...

Outstanding presentation. Thank you Sofilein and Rob Cogan! You both are a blessing to the Army Armor community. I send you a salute!

I visited The Somme battlefield last June where the first Tanks were used in anger, and visited the Tank Memorial on the road between Albert and Bapaume. The landscape is vast and gently rolling, so even a 'hill' was in fact just a gentle rise in the topography.

I'v been to the Bovington Tank museum many times and i'd love to visit this one as well , much love ❤ from the UK

Rob Cogan is always good. Really great. Thanks. I have not seen the US used Mark Vs. Cool.

Awesome! It's great to hear stories about our first actions in this war. 🤠👍👍

What a neat way to present this incredible artifact!

I liked the detail that was gone into tank 9591😊. Great video Soflein😊

Yes new stuff, hope all is well with you Sofi! Keep the videos coming.

Yay Sofilein!... good to see you back on RU-vid!

good museum

Great video, thanks for posting. My father was a captain of a tank company and was stationed at Fort Knox. I bet he saw the tank shown in the video while he was at Fort Knox.

The Historical relevance of a machine is always fascinating, or I believe it should be

Thanks, Sofie, and his enthusiasm matches yours!

Sofis videos are always so fun and interesting especially her tonk history videos . I always learns something new from watching her channel

Awesome tank, presentation, and channel! Thanks! Also: The world needs a 1/48 scale model of a Mark 5 to go with the 1/48 scale WWI airplane models!

This was really interesting video about WWI tank. Always liked these so much. Wish there would have been more interior shots or diorama about each "battle station" like gunner, commander. Thank you so much for the video, looking forward to see more nice tank videos.

Always liked the look of the Mk IV and Mk V WW1 tanks. Thank you!

Delighted to see this again, now with proper restoration after Ft. Knox. Thank you Sofilen! 👌

Getting sharper and more professional with every video Sofi! Very well put together! I’m going to look up some information on this particular tank and battle.🇺🇸

Great presentation by Rob Cogan.

I have a picture of myself standing next to that tank at Ft Knox. After graduating from C-1-1 19K Armor OSUT in February of 1983. I was assigned to C co 1/66th Armor 2nd Armored Division Ft Hood Tx. After watching your video I realized that my unit’s lineage is related to that Tank from the 301st. Now here is were it gets crazy. 20 years ago I moved from my home state of Florida to Long Island NY. Yes a Beautiful woman was the reason. I live 2 miles from Brookhaven National Lab which started as Camp Upton. Camp Upton was the training camp for the 301st Tank Battalion. I found that out after researching my unit’s lineage. My wife’s Great Great Grandfather who was from Ridge NY a mile from Camp Upton trained at Camp Upton . Can you guess his unit??? Yep the 301st Tank Battalion. Thanks you for this Great video

Very good and above all a very interesting video of the Mk. V tank of the British Army. Thank you very much and keep it up. 😊👍

I always enjoy your videos, even more when you highlight the ancestors. I hope you get to feature even more of these vintage gems!

Saw this tank when I was at Ft Knox in '96.

Mr. Cogan knows his stuff! Great presentation. Thanks!

Well done!!! The man running this operation should be allowed permanent posting there if he so desires... He obviously knows his stuff... And genuinely seems to care as well...

I did my driver/maint. course at Bovington too for Centurion and Chieftain.

Got to have a look and walk thru a mk 4 tank a few years ago. It was used supporting our Australian troops. Quite a cramped vehicle . This one has a similar colour scheme with the red and white stripes. Interesting video.

I'm glad he mentioned the "mud" because I couldn't understand why they would allow it to be there but it made the tank seem somewhat operable.

Saw this MK5 at the Patton museum twice in the 80's.

Great video. Very informative.

Glorious Sofilein!

Nice video. Impressive history for the tank and it's crew.

Nice! You to respect this tank. 😊

This is a British tank

Great video Sofi and Rob! Keep up the good work!

Excellent video! Man’s a great narrator. Love your sweater!

Thanks Sofi, great video!

What a beast....crew of 11 !

Good to see the tank well looked after and with an interesting story to boot! Best wishes from the UK.

Outstanding video Sofi. Thank you Mr. Cogan

glad to see Sophie

Excellent content, we have mist you , good to have you back. Hope you can fined the time to make more like this. It is very interesting foe us in the UK to get a new perspective on familiar tanks.

Always an outstanding video and presentation. Great close up shots. A couple of interior shot would have been great for us model builder folks. Thank you Sofilein.

Love videos with Rob.

Thanks!

Good to see you again. Very informative video. It was interesting to hear the history of this tank. I hope you will be able to create more new vids. I understand it is a lot of work. Thank you.

Outstanding work

it was so cool to learn about the history of 9591 and its crew!

Thanks for your love of tanks Sofi

Thanks for the awesome video!!!

I’m soo glad that you back at the museum!! Love your tank videos!!

Tanks for the video.

Great vid. I appreciate the history.

Sofi, thank you for another great, educational video. This is why I love coming to your channel. I actually learn things.

An excellent video :) Many thanks and best wishes from this side of the pond!

It has more battleship vibes than tank vibes. 😮

I remember seeing this tank at Ft.Know in the 80s .. Sofi ,very good video and alot of history of that tank . Glad to see you back at Ft.Benning !!! Big Wave and Smile to you...

Great vid Sophie, both yourself and Rob do awesome narration of your vids

Thanks Sofi very cool

Thanx, Sofi. I appreciate you taking the trouble to research some of the more non-mainstream tanks. Shermans & Tigers are great, but giving your audience a wider, more historic perspective is an indicator of your commitment to tank lore.

Super informative!!

Thanks, Sofi! That was fascinating. .

Love your tank videos. They're all so fantastic.

Bravo.....great video

Great story. Important tank. Thank you.

A stirring tale- thank you

Excellent in-formatted video👍👍

I can’t help but wonder if my great grandfather, an early tank gunner in the 301st served in this tank or trained in it, or helped work on it in camp between engagements. Humbling to see this old beast so proudly displayed. She’s a bit different than my M1 was! Thank you Sofi for these great posts! People don’t show these early tanks often and some have forgotten the brave men that crawled into these steal beasts. This really touched my heart and reminded me again of my great grandfather’s courage. Thank you.

How lucky for Us that this tank survived, I understand ALL the original UK tanks were smelted down in the early days of WW2.

Always such good videos

Very informative video Sofi , interesting to bad it's just a static display , would be great to see it fully restored and a runner , Thanks for sharing !

I've always loved the WWI tanks. Thanks for what you do...

Excellent work

A Scotty reference on a WWI track video? Brilliant!

Great history lesson about the tank.

He is right. This tank was built like that specifically to cross over the trenches in ww1. It was later that turrets were built onto tanks.

tanks a lot😁

Amazing and awesome!!

Great tank, Amazing story!

Excellent tank and story!

Hell of a story!

Nice!

Very cool!

ya, way cool, something to save there alright! Gate monument, that's a real service vehicle and a hero in its own right! its the right thing to do too-have it in the museum for sure. Good job on making the video as well well done.

Thank you Sofi, and thank you Mr Rob Cogan. Proud of our history, not always Pax Americana, but maturing as a waking arsenal of democracy in 1918 and now fighting against domestic fascism.

Sherman was my favorite as a kid, but i always thought ww1 tanks and their stories were very interesting. Rob is a really knowledgeable guy and so are you...and very beautiful. Enjoy these videos.

Great video Sofi. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration. Would have liked to see inside the tank,perhaps another day.

Wait... MicroPros is still making games?! How did I not know this?

Very intersting Video and a fascinating piece of history. The Mark V* looks to be in a very good condtion.

Yay, a post from Sofilein! It's been a minute since you last showed up in my feed: how ya been? Looking forward to watching this...

First time viewer here. I like your work. I'm not sure if you have been to to the U.K But I'm sure you'll like bovington tank museum should we ever be graced by your presence. I think it would be an awesome series for all of us. Keep up the good work! Cheers
