Notes | In the early 1930s the Polish army purchased 38 Vickers E light tanks and these vehicles came in two versions, the first was a twin turreted model armed with two machine guns and was designated Vickers 6-Tonowy A and the second had a single turret armed with a 47mm gun. The Poles made some alterations to these vehicles by adding a better engine cooling system. These vehicles were issued to motorised brigades and served in light tank companies. |
