It's nice that an Englishman, a Frenchman and a German all came together to preserve and promote this bit of history
Pretty poetic
Europeans have done enough fighting each other to last an eternity. We need to stay united as the brothers and sisters that we are.
Guy Martin.. A mind not ruined by society. Top man and a great role model.
Exactly ,REAL!
Nope, the stupid woke haven't got to him yet...he's too level headed for that lot.
If there's one thing that stands out besides Guy's enthusiasm, it's his patriotism for Britain. And that is wonderful.
Very brave men that went into battle in these tanks. I SALUTE THEM.
They were death traps, if it broke down you were so vulnerable and if the enemy shot you down you'd be stuck. The bravery to go in one of these would be massive
@@dwgray9000 I can't imagine how terrifying that would've been. My grandad drove tanks in France and Germany after the D Day invasion, sadly I was too young to get the chance to talk to him about it but it makes me proud
I don’t think they had much choice, you go and fight or be shot. They were all scared
@@joecramp2987 100 year old technology can only do so much.
I went to a tank museum and the guide said that some of the mechanics were so hot that their hands would melt to the metal if they touched it
Who didn’t get a shiver when the bugler played the last post..
Guy Martin, the man that fame could never ruin..a national treasure
Me
Very emotional, both my Great Grandfathers fought in WW1 one at Gallipoli and then the Western Front as a "tunneller". The other joined days after his brother died at Laundrecies August 1914. He was sent to Ypres and rushed green to the front where the Germans were threatening to break the stalemate. April 1915 was the day they unleashed gas for the first time. Men ran in panic
What an amazing tribute. This was no simple build. To research, plan, fabricate and deliver an authentic machine with some original components is just outstanding.
Guy Martin I so thrilled you got out alive from the TT because this shows that was displaying only a tidbit of your personality. I take my hat off to you and the whole team who brought that project to fruition. Brought a tear to the eye
I love to listen to Guy talk! I can't always understand him but it is a charming accent. His enthusiasm is contagious and when he smiles and rolls his eyes he seems like an animation. He's a unique character.
Watching from New Zealand lest we forget the Anzacs
Wow, even through my phone that moment was palpable.
I will definitely get myself to the museum to witness this creation!!
"One thing you cannot comprehend is the smell of the mechanics "
The last call sends a shiver down my spine
wowzer agreed, particularly the last few notes
Yeah, always does
You should watch a couple of the Menin Gate ceremonies. Haunting and beautiful stuff, deffo a tear inducing experience. The Last Post especially.
SomeBloke8895 my section paraded there in 2018 for the 100th anniversary of the Armistice but I was not able to be there, something I will regret for a long time
Always.
0:02 This is the most accurate replica of a Mark IV Tank
Jeremy Clarkson: In the wooooorld
James May: Plenty of it.
HGV mechanic, TT racer, TV presenter! Can watch Guy all the time, proper bloke 👌
I am so moved, I cannot explain it. Simply the sight and feelings. I want to cry.
I got time for Guy anyday!
Leaving the minute silence in the video. Very touching! Respect!
I find absolutely fantastic that people of different nations which were at loggerhead with each other managed one century later to meet in such a friendly spirit on board of a British tank.
Thank you Guy, thank you JCB and everyone else who made that day possible.
Great vid, great tribute to all involved, past and present.
Thank you Gorstan for the CAD, it must have been a huge help. And thank you for being a German modeller with a true interest in history.
I think the name is Thorsten, that's a bit more common in these regions..
I'm not sure though and it doesn't make your compliments any less meaningful. 🙂
@@Snaakie83 I apologise if I've gotten his name wrong, but still compliment the German guy involved.
Guy is such a passionate respectful & faultless presenter. He delivers history in simple to understand bite sized chunks. Total respect to all those that never came home. Lest we forget
What an amazing bit of history too recreate. Very touching too. Good job guy.
Brought me to tears watching thanks you everyone involved
Wow, the emotions.
Proper job, boys. Proper job.
Got to thank JCB for supporting Guy in alot of his projects
Tony & Sussn Here, Thank you guy, I served in th USMC and can feelyour respect for those who have served. Semper fi brother
Thank you Guy. My Grand Dad a WWI, gassed US Soldier from the Trenches; My father, a Tanker with Gen. Patton from Africa to Battle of the Buldge.
It is just incredible. A great tribute to all that lost their life in the war. I wish I could see, touch and even ride in it. People need to see this tank! Children need to have school field trips to come see it and learn about history!
You got to have the lump in the throat, AMAZING
GUY MARTIN FOR PRESIDENT!
Shame he's British
whyarewehere he can be prime minister! He could be the one to say enough of shops legs start our economy making things again
@@fraserm5339 he loves tea, so yea for everyone?
Nice profile pic.
This has seriously given me goose bumbs watching. To go forward in life we must remember those who paved our ways. Thank yous 🙏
Very sad time back when these tanks were in battle because there weren’t very many men that made it through that. Glad you guys did such a good job on it.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
très bel hommage
An engineering marvel of its time. And still impressive today.
Awwwwwwwwwww Guy, that’s beautiful, she’s all painted up and given a proper name. Bloody marvellous man. You never cease to amaze me. The last call, perfect. I remember my brother playing that on the bugle in the army cadets, he was amazing at it. 😎👍👍👍
Guy Martin was one of my idols growing up. I wanted to win the IOM TT just like him. Now that I'm older I realize I don't have the skill to win that race, lol. He's on another level. But, sometimes I still imagine what it would be like to defy the laws of physics and be a phenomenal pilot like GM.👊👍
0:54 "you've done some work"
"you too!"
Great effort to all those involved. A very fitting tribute marking the 100 years. Well done guy.
Best video ever Guy Amazing work .
A world full of these great men there would be no wars.
An absolutely brilliant piece of machinery. Thank you, Guy!
Just pure admiration and true respect
Epic...beautifully done...thank you to all the vets who fought in these beasts...
Great video Guy so deeply touched by the emotions of the content. The struggle and sacrifice recreated. Hopefully mankind will not make the same mistakes again.
Looking like a proper tanker crew when they're stood up on Deborah. Top stuff that
I had a great uncle L/Cpl John Keegans who transferred from 7th Bn, South Lancs in 1917 after the 3rd battle of Ypres to the Tank Corps to help form 12th (L) Battalion in 1918 in mark 4 tanks in 1918 during 1918 100 days offensive. After the war he was a night watchman for Hartley's Jam factory in Aintree, Liverpool but suffered with lung problems dying in 1940 from lung related diseases.
Stunning. Superb job by all involved.
Brought a tear to my eye
This gave me goosebumps and a teary eye.
Well done boys.👌
Very moving, my great grandfather fought in France. I'm sure he would have seen machines like this.
did anyone else see that at 43 seconds into the video Guy just looks straight down the barrel of one of the guns? BOSS MAN!!!
Beautiful.. Brings a tear to my eyes
Just a very amazing episode and so well put together…👍🏻
amazing job, all the work that went into that, been in a lot of tanks but nothing like that, incredible.
You are damn Awesome Guy keep it up
LEST WE FORGET
But Why .. ? Rich Mans Game .. the common man are their Pawns..
amazing in every way... well done... Lest We Forget..
YES!!! was waiting for this! There is a lot of interesting facts/history behind those tanks and the people that made it possible... By the way excelent job!
Now that, my friends, is a thing of beauty.
Great tribute
There is no better way to teach/remember history than what we call "Living History." Shame the crew wasn't in full battle dress for that ride.
Oh I have something in my eye.... fantastic 👍🏻
I believe me nan was knocking them out in Lincoln .
She must've had a mighty fist
Tidy.
@Bob Dobalina my gran was a nurse in berlin and my granddad was an RAF pilot they both met when he got shot down.
@@DarkVoidDan That must have been somewhat tricky but I bet there's a feature film in there!
@Bob Dobalina It's lucky he was shot down 11 days before the end of the war otherwise the ss would have probably killed him.
...Least we forget
Kia Kaha from New Zealand ❤
Very well done to everyone involved. You've done us proud.
Bloody fantastic. Well done to all. 👍
Guy Martin, you brilliant bastard you!
Loving the Tank series 😷👍
They have one similar at Ft.Meade. Could not even imagine what it was like.
well done Guy and team
Thank you for a job done well.
Your the man Guy . Unreal
Imagine seeing one of these on the battlefield for the first time and having no idea what to do... must have been terrifying
Wow very touching, well done all involved
Thank you . That was really amazing
I’ve seen the real Deborah tank, and talked with Phillippe at his museum in Flesquiiere in France, he dug it out of the mud along with everything else he has on display there. I also stayed at his hotel Beattus in Cambrai where I discovered his book ‘Following the Tanks’ which documented his finding and recovery of Deborah. His museum is filled with artefacts from the battlefield that his museum sits on, seeing it up-close in person makes it very real.
My great grandfather Walter Stacey was an infantryman with the 7th battalion, Somerset Light Infantry. At 6:20am on 20th November 1917, he began following the tanks into battle at Cambrai. After the Germans counter-attacked his position outside Masniere on the 30th November, Walter was unaccounted for and his body was never found. He is one of 7048 British soldiers reported Missing in Action at Cambrai. Over 45000 men were killed on each side.
After more than a year of research I travelled in 2008 from Australia and walked the battlefield where Walter and his battalion had fought, and finally to the site where he was most likely killed. There, I collected some battlefield soil and returned his spirit home to England.
Their name liveth forevermore.
What an amazing job you did!
Nicely put
Amazing work!👍🤤
Do they take it down to Bovington for TankFest? Or at the very least keep it in running condition?
Daniel_F it’s at Norfolk Tank Museum. I was wondering the same thing. Maybe a northern vs southern England thing? Idk I’m a yank.
@@c3aloha The Norfolk tank Museum built this tank. Guy Martin was the presenter of the show. And Norfolk is not in the north of England
Bovington have their own replica.
Man, you do some of the coolest shit ever!
Final outing? I was crawling all through it at Norfolk tank museum, it moves about just fine? - Also, go see it when you can, there is some really cool gear there and they let you climb on it, plus, the radio museum is there :o)
Absolutely amazing it really is 👍
Fucken Legend, remember our past people its all we have
The "E" type in the tank world .
Who else would love to see a collaboration between Guy and Colin Furze?? 😊
My Grandfather was one of the first Solider to drive one of these tanks in the first world war , Because he was one of the first engineers, The king wanted a demonstration, they thought they would give him a show, one of the Soldiers inside got thrown about and Brock his arm.
06:56 Chills
Brilliant
i have been to the museum where this tank now is
the war to end all war
I like it, thought it wold be way bogger xD but cool thing tho
I bet you all that the sound of a mark IV tank running across that ground more than likely awoken some ghosts that would've heard that a little over 100 years ago.
Thanks to all involved for making this happen.
Well done Guy and team!
Can anyone on the team tell me what Debora II's colour is please?
The doco linked takes me to Channel 4 in England, which I can't watch.
Is there an international link?
This was on channel 4 here a few years back if i remember correctly.
Not sure how you can watch it abroad unfortunately. www.channel4.com/programmes/guy-martins-wwi-tank
Guy needs to spank that tank and get it up to maximum speed - Proper!
I want a tank!
We tend to forget those who made ways before us, so we can have more
What's the music when the get in the tank?
I have a Deborah numberplate DB02WAR 😁
