The Churchill medium tank came into service
with the British Army in 1942 to support and replace the earlier Valentines,
Mathilda’s and Crusaders, which, by then, were all outdated and inadequate in
terms of both armor and weaponry, easily falling prey to the more advanced
German tanks. Equipped with thick armor and a reliable engine, it proved to be
tough and dependable, later being produced in ever-more efficient, upgraded
versions. Its chassis was also used as a platform for specialized support
vehicles such as the mine clearer, the bridge layer and the flame-thrower.
