The tank was presented to the people of Ashford on August 1, 1919 by captain Walter Farrar MC, F Battallion Tank Corps in recognition of their splendid response to the national war savings appeal.
N0 245 was de-activated by the removal of the rear drive and has the distinction of being the only surviving tank in situ on public display.
A protective canopy was built over the tank in 1987.
