The Valentine infantry tank was one of the most important British types during the Desert War. Armed initially with a 2-pounder (40mm), the tank was upgunned twice, first to the 6-pounder (57mm) and finally to a 75mm gun. 8275 Valentines were produced from 1940-44.
Many variants of the Valentine were also built including bridgelayers, mine-clearers and amphibious tanks.
