Wednesday, 31 December The first production Valentine was completed in June , too late to see action in France. Production increased rapidly and by the end of the year, despite only being in production for half the year nearly equalled Matilda II production for the entire year. The Valentine is odd in British tank doctrine as it didn’t fit properly into either a Cruiser or Infantry tank concept but it was liked by it’s crews as it was easy to drive and more importantly was extremely reliable, something that couldn’t be said for other British tanks of the period, it’s very low profile was also used to great advantage.

Armour consisted of cast and rolled plates and was generally 60mm thick, although the turret front was slightly thicker at 65mm, this offered excellent protection against the German 37mm and good protection against the German 50mm guns at medium ranges but obviously offered little protection against the German 88mm flak guns and the long 75mm guns. Armament originally consisted of a 2pdr gun in a 2 man turret, this offered tactical disadvantages and so a 3 man turret was designed and was known as the Valentine III, as with other 2pdr armed tanks the 2pdr could be replaced with a 3″ Howitzer which offered High Explosive and Smoke shell.

With the increase in German armour thickness and as with other British tanks the 6pdr was installed in the Valentine, the first version to carry the 6pdr was the IX and the Besa machine gun was removed.
