Long Shot at ID


Recommended Posts

Out walking on the former firing range near us this morning. As we passed the remains of one of the hard targets I said to my daughter that we would never know what kind of tank it had been without finding some kind of ID plate. So of course the first thing I picked was the fragment of an ID plate!

From what I can make out the lettering is -

8.AT. III

/41

I know it's a long shot but can anyone identify what this means?

Thanks

Hi @Matt W

Since you've had no replies so far, here's my guess:

I think it's a data plate from a British Ordnance QF 6 Pounder Airborne, Anti-Tank Gun Mk.IV on Carriage Mk.III, built 1941.

Perhaps ask the same question in the Artillery & Anti-Tank Weapons section to get more views, and see if I'm anywhere near the correct answer.

Best Regards,

Adrian
