Valentine tank

infantry tank

More heavily produced than any other British tank of the war, the compact, well-armoured Valentine fought throughout the desert campaign and was supplied in huge numbers to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease, where Soviet crews valued its reliability even as its gun remained undersized against German armour.
