The presented model depicts the American Holt 75 tractor and the heavy British BL 8-inch howitzer. The Holt 75 was a pioneering tracked machine originally used in agriculture, but from 1915 it saw widespread use with the British, French, and American armies, becoming one of the first military artillery tractors. It was used to transport heavy artillery in difficult field conditions, where previously mainly horse teams had been used. These machines proved themselves in numerous operations, including battles on the Western Front of the First World War (1915–1918).
