The A9 was Britain’s first tank designed specifically for the fast, exploitative “cruiser” role, distinct from the slower, heavily-armoured infantry tanks developed alongside it. By September 1939, 77 were already in British service. The A9 fought in France in 1940 and later in the North African desert, taking part in the sweeping victories at Sidi Barrani and Beda Fomm – though a typical armoured brigade mixing A9s, A10s and the faster A13s created real tactical headaches, since the slower vehicles constantly held the formation back.
