Notes | The T-13 was a tank destroyer which was based on the Vickers M.1934 artillery tractor and mounted a 47mm M.1931 anti-tank gun. Vickers tractors were originally bought as artillery tractors and these served with Chasseurs Ardennais artillery units. The T-13B1 had a rear facing gun protected by armoured plates, the gun could only traverse 120 degrees with the plates in place and had to drop the plates to allow for a traverse of 360 degrees. The T-13B2 had only minor improvements. They were issued to infantry, cavalry and Chasseurs Ardennais divisions. |
