All British tanks were lost in the battle in France, because they could not be taken away, Matilda II fought here at Arass and for the Germans their armor was an unpleasant surprise, they were destroyed only by large-caliber artillery fire, their cannon (2 pdr.) Was relatively powerful and was sufficient at that time for all German tanks.
Of the total production of 2987 pieces, 1084 were delivered to the USSR in the years 1941-1943. Here the tank was received relatively ambiguously, the crews appreciated the strong armor, but the propulsion part with two engines and a planetary gearbox was too complicated for the Russians, and the travel, which was completely covered, also caused problems.
Another big user was Australia, where these tanks were used for their own development and were deployed during the occupation of large islands (eg Borneo). In addition to the standard Matilda, the Australians also used the CSA version, ie tan artillery support with a larger caliber weapon, and their own variants of dozer, flame and hedgehog. The dozer was a bulldozer tank, the flame was equipped with a flamethrower and the hedgehog was a variant that allowed to throw anti-submarine charges with a contact lighter at a distance of 200 - 300 m (the tank carried 7 of them). The last Matilda were decommissioned by the Australian Army in 1955.

This machine in full green camouflage, named "DOVER", is a variant of the Matilda II CDL (Canal Defence Light), which is part of the collections of the Bovington Tank Museum. The tank has its standard turret replaced by a special turret, housing a powerful searchlight. This was originally intended to be used for defensive illumination of the English Channel, and later also to illuminate the battlefield during night action. The powerful light from the powerful electric searchlight penetrated from the tower through a narrow slit (visible behind the turret machine gun in the picture), which was covered by a screen. Its rapid opening and closing gave the impression of flickering light, making the source of this light very difficult to aim. The highly penetrating light could not be seen even from a long distance, so it could also be used to blind the enemy. After trials in September 1939, the decision was made at the War Office to produce 300 of these special turrets and fit them to the hulls of Matildas II. It was also envisaged that two brigades of these illuminating tanks would be deployed, one in Britain and one in the Middle East, but the Matildas II CDLs did not find use until the crossing of the Rhine in 1945. At that time, searchlights were also installed on the hulls of M3 Grant tanks. The US Army was also enthusiastic about the project and had 355 light towers made for tank hulls M3 Lee. The machines were subsequently deployed in a similar fashion to the British in crossing the Rhine and Elbe rivers.

A12 Infantry Tank Mk.II Matilda made in England and intended under the Lend-Lease contract for the Soviet Union. Painted on the tank in white paint in English and Russian is the inscription "Greetings to our allies in the U.S.S.R."Greetings to our allies in U.S.S.R/Privet nashnoy союзником в С.С.С.Р.) The photograph shows the significant involvement of women in arms production, which was the norm not only in England but also in other belligerent countries.

Zdravím, nedávno jsem narazil na fotografie tanku Matilda II se 76mm kanonem F-96. Byly u toho i fotografie nějakého kanonu, zřejmě F-96. Některé zdroje tvrdí, že tato Matilda II byla polní úprava, při které bylo do věže namontováno 76mm divizní dělo ZiS-3 (což se mi jeví jako nesmysl - viz. anglická Wikipedia), jiné že šlo o kanon F-34 z tanku T-34. Kanon na fotkách se F-34ce dost podobá, ale není stejný - není možná F-96 nějakou variantou kanonu F-34?
