>> Označování britských tanků

Specifikace a požadavky britské War Office byly označovány jednoduchým způsobem : na počátku bylo uvedeno písmeno A, dále následovalo pořadové číslo specifikace, další písmeno E uvádělo subvariantu, po níž další číslice či písmeno určovaly další změnu varianty. Některé tanky - zdaleka ne všechny - pak obdržely své "bojové" jméno.
