WW1 British Mark IV Male Tank 

Mark IV tanks came into service in 1917 and saw action in the final battles of WW1 in 1917 and 1918. Around 1200 were built - more than the other marks of British tanks - but only seven survive today. This vehicle is a Male tank, mounting two 6pdr guns in the sponsons, as opposed to Female tanks, which mounted machine guns. After WW1, this Mark IV had been presented to the Royal Navy Gunnery School at Portsmouth to thank them for their help in training Tank Corps gunners. Although it was given to The Tank Museum and returned to running order in the 1970s, the tank is no longer driven. The hook/anchor was for snagging and clearing barbed wire.
