Rhomboids, pictured Somme June 1918 but destroyed earlier, these look like Mk I to me - the odd thing is then the Germans left them in place for nearly two years

Identity of the rhomboids

July 5 2009, 7:42 PM 

Many thanks for posting the links to these photos. The female rhomboid is 548 D13 "Delilah" and the male is C23. Both are MkI tanks knocked out in High Wood on 15/9/16. The wood fell to the British on that date, and was not re-occupied by the Germans until the Somme battlefield was retaken during the Spring Offensive of 1918.

That makes sense

Thanks Gerald, that explanation makes sense - well as much as it makes sense to leave this valuable scrap in the mud during an ongoing war but obviously the Allies could affort this! Regards, Pat
