Short notes:

The best WW1 tank was light Reanult FT with rotating turret, armed with 37mm cannon or MG. Also were built 188 Renault TSF (unarmed radio command tanks) and 39 Renault BS (with 75mm howither, not used in combat).

A part of the troop carriers Mk.V* were rebuild from the standard Mark V. 25 built Mk.V** weren't use in combat.

A number of early British tanks (Mark I to IV) tanks were rebuild as a support (transport and so on) vehicles.

A part of "female" tanks were transformed to composite tanks - the left sponsor was rearmed with a 57mm gun instead of a machinegun.

The Germans captured 78 British tanks Mk.IV (used about 30 of them) and Mk.A (not used in combat).

The Germans also used 20 A7V chassis for production of an unarmored tractors.

The white armies used tanks (at least 62 Mk.V , 17 Mk.A , 3 Mk.B , 21 FT ) in Russian Civilian War (1918..20). Finally, the reds captured 59 Mk.V, 17 Mk.A, 1 Mk.B, 14 FT.
7 FT were captured from the Poles in 1920.
