Nice ! Funny thing, we found these in Iraq and Afghanistan during the wars, and they restored one and put it in the Patton Museum.

This vignette depicts an FT-17 "5 of Aces" from the U.S. 344th Tank Battalion rescued from the battlefields of France, and returned to the U.S. in 1919. After decades of neglect sitting unprotected in Aberdeen Proving Grounds Maryland, the tank has been restored and is now on display in the National Museum of the U.S. Army at Fort Belvoir.
This vignette depicts what the setting may look like - the museum is scheduled to open in May 2020.
