TheInfantry Tank Mark II, best known as theMatilda, was aBritishinfantrytankofWorld War II. With its heavy armour, the Matilda II was an excellent infantry support tank but with somewhat limited speed and armament. It was the only British tank to serve from the start of the war to its end, although it is particularly associated with the North Africa Campaign. It was replaced in front-line service by the lighter and less costlyInfantry Tank Mk III Valentinebeginning in late 1941.
