Default 'German' tank

Good morning,

only to show you a 'German' tank destroyed at La Pompelle, near Reims, in Champagne.

A WWI tank enthusiast would probably be able to tell you the name / number of the tank in both German and British service.

I only have a few such photos / postcards, including this one of a tank wreck in the same area, the wrecks remained there for years, much visited and much photographed.
They were eventually scrapped by the Germans during WWII.
