Do you want the full name or the just type of tank model? I can tell you it is a M1 Abrams, but not the variation(they all look to similar)

It is the M1A2, Just believe that it is mainly under the hood changes. Nothing major on the outside except for some extra armor.

The artillery gun is a BL 5.5-inch Medium Gun at Normandy, 7th Medium Regiment, 12th Battery, Royal Canadian Artillery.

(this one)

This tank?

Searching the tanks-encylopedia for "Japanese amphious tanks" yielded no results... probably because it never left the prototype stage, only one was ever built. It was supposed to become the Type 5 To-Ku. Defeat came too early for it to see production.

Edit - ah sorry, missed a post above and came in second.

Hang on people, I've got a trick question for ya'll.

What is the gun, and what country is the person from?

What... it's NOT a tommy gun?

The firearm is clearly a Thompson .45 submachine gun with a rotary clip, American designed, but I believe that it was manufactured under license in several other countries. The battle helmet is a WW1 British "Tommy" helmet which the Brits and most Commonwealth countries continued to use throughout WW2. That, however, is not definitive because the U.S. Army was still using a "Tommy" helmet knockoff as late as early 1942, and there are plenty of photos of U.S. Army soldiers and Filipino scouts wearing them in December 1941 and early 1942. That said, the battledress and harness look British to my eye, and the rank chevron for a private first class or lance corporal is inverted, British style, not American style.

Given Nuke's nationality, I'm going with Canadian.

It is a Brit, with a Tommy. Good job

Nuke I have no idea what that airplane is. My gut says PBY Catalina but I know that isn't true. At least I hope it isn't true. However, I will have to get back to you on that one.

Or as an Australian might say, a Pommy Tommy with a Thompson.

Wait, Montana, one more thing. It's you Americans who have the ranks inverted, not the rest of the world.

Supermarine Stranraer Mk.I (no need to call it Mk.I though, it was the only version produced).

That's not a tank, that's sub- submarine. (reference to the Japanese amph thing.)

Some time last year, one of the forum regulars posted a photo of a WW2-era Soviet experimental amphibious tank being air dropped over water. And that was exactly my reaction: that's not a tank, that's a submarine -- minus the breathing apparatus and equipment to surface.

On a point of historic heraldry - the chevron is what looks like an upside-down 'V' so in fact MontanaBB is correct. Having said that, what MBB refers to as 'the American-style chevron' goes far back into the history . Further than Cristopher Columbus.
