The Liberty Mark VIII, also known as the International Tank, was the first heavy tank produced by the U.S. It was a joint venture between the U.S. and Great Britain to design and manufacture a heavy tank for use during World War I. This piece of the Rock’s history arrived May 10. RIA-JMTC will perform the restoration work to reinforce its structure and stabilize it, followed by a repainting. Plans are underway for the tank to be displayed in a covered pavilion just down the street from the building where it was originally manufactured. (U.S. Army photo by Debralee Best/RIA-JMTC)
