Created by the British at the outset of WWII, FRIEND OR FOE? is a series of training films that feature tanks and other armored vehicles, so that they could be distinguished from German tanks and vehicles. In this case the purpose is not only to familiarize soldiers, weapons and tank crews with the history of the tank, but to prevent friendly-fire incidents. Within these films you'll see a wide variety of mobile weapons systems used by the Royal Tank Corps. and Royal Tank Regiment. These include Crusader, Matilda, Challenger, Valentine and other tank models. You'll also see WWI vintage tanks which are shown fighting in the Battle of the Somme and at a demonstration for King George V. <p><p>The Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) provides the armour capability of the British Army, with vehicles such as the Challenger 2 Tank and the Scimitar Reconnaissance Vehicle. It was created as a loose association of armoured regiments, both the Royal Tank Regiment and those converted from old horse cavalry regiments. Today it comprises ten regular regiments and four Yeomanry regiments of the Army Reserve.<p><p>The RAC was created on 4 April 1939, just before World War II started, by combining regiments from the cavalry of the line which had mechanised with the Royal Tank Corps (renamed Royal Tank Regiment). As the war went on and other regular cavalry and Territorial Army Yeomanry units became mechanised, the corps was enlarged. A significant number of infantry battalions also converted to the armoured role as RAC regiments.[4] In addition, the RAC created its own training and support regiments. Finally, in 1944, the RAC absorbed the regiments of the Reconnaissance Corps.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Wide of Somme battlefield and arch 3. Close up Trimble singing during service 4. Wide Trimble and military dignitaries singing at memorial service 5. Trimble and Reid arriving at press conference 6. SOUNDBITE: (English) David Trimble, Former First Minister of Northern Ireland "Well good morning ladies and gentlemen. We're here of course for the 85th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of the Somme. It also happens to mark, today happens to mark, the third anniversary of the first meeting of the Northern Ireland assembly. Three years. Three years in which to see the agreement fully implemented but three years in which it has not been implemented, and in particular the one thing about which virtually nothing has happened is the process of putting paramilitary weapons completely and verifiably beyond use. This is also the day after the last date given by the governments for full implementation. Originally in the agreement full implementation should have been done by the 22nd May 2000. In May last year the government, with the agreement of the parties, set June 2001 as the date for full implementation. That date clearly went past at midnight last night, and it's for that reason, because I can no longer have any confidence in the promises, the unfulfilled promises, made by Republicans, and because I wanted to ensure that there would be no suggestion of the process moving beyond this without the issue being properly settled, that I have now ceased to be First Minister in Northern Ireland. I am prepared to resume that office, but only if we get this issue settled and we see weapons being put permanently beyond use in accordance with the decommissioning legislation." 7. Reid approaching microphone 8. SOUNDBITE: (English) John Reid, British Northern Ireland Secretary "I'd prefer to create the circumstances where David Trimble would never have had to resign in the first place and I hope we can get the circumstances where all of those who have given so much to the peace process feel that they can continue to participate in it, rather than have to resign." 9. Media pan to Trimble at microphone 10. SOUNDBITE: (English) David Trimble, Former First Minister of Northern Ireland "It's been my experience that the only way the IRA move is under pressure and part of the reason why we've had so little movement on this issue over the course of the last year, the last 3 years, is because insufficient pressure has been applied, and it's a pity that it's up to me to do it." 11. Reid and Trimble chatting STORYLINE: Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble, who resigned as First Minister of Northern Ireland, was in France on Sunday to mark the 85th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. The battle was one of the bloodiest of the First World War and claimed the lives of thousands of Northern Irish servicemen. Speaking at the event, Trimble said he had stepped down because the I-R-A (Irish Republican Army) still hadn't started the process of decommissioning its weapons. Disarmament of the paramilitary group is an essential condition of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement which ushered in Protestant-Catholic power sharing in the British province. Trimble said he took the drastic step of resigning to force the I-R-A to take action, but would resume his post if the paramilitary group decided to comply with its obligations. Sinn Fein, the political wing of the I-R-A, has criticised Trimble's move, accusing him of political brinkmanship. It counters that its demands - a reduction in troop numbers and reforms to the Royal Ulster Constabulary, the northern Irish police force - have also gone unmet. According to the Good Friday Agreement, the power-sharing government now has six weeks in which to re-install Trimble or replace him. If not, the Northern Irish assembly and executive would have to be suspended and Britain could call new elections in the province or even re-impose direct rule from London. But the British Northern Ireland Secretary John Reid, speaking at the same event, said he hoped such a step would prove unnecessary. He added that he hoped all aspects of the agreement would be implemented and that Trimble would return to the helm.
