The Mark IV (pronounced Mark four) was a British tank of the First World War.Introduced in 1917, it benefited from significant developments of the Mark I tank (the intervening designs being small batches used for training).
The bright spots of British tank design included the Valentine, Churchill (A22), Cromwell (A27M), and Comet I (A34), which together made up a little over half of total British tank production during WWII. The Valentine was a reliable, heavily armoured infantry-support tank used successfully in the desert and by the Red Army as a light tank.
