The Medium Mark A Whippet tank first went into action in March of 1918.  On the 26th of that month,  twelve Whippets of the 3rd Battalion of the Tank Corps were rushed  to Heburterne to cover a four mile gap which had appeared in the retreating Third Army front.   At Mailly-Maillet Wood they charged a force of 300 German infantry, putting them to flight and capturing a great number.   The Medium Mark A weighed 14 tons, with a crew of three.  It was capable of 8.3 miles per hour with a radius of action of 80 miles.    Three or Four Hotchkiss Machine guns was the usual amament of the Whippet.  Its armor thickness was 14 to 5 mm.
