The Gospel according to the ROYAL ARMORED CORPS

In the beginning was the Mud, the Trenches and the Barbed wire, the voice of the Machine Gun was heard throughout the land. And the Cavalry and the Infantry were sore afraid and they prayed for redemption, but redemption was not at hand. And the hosts of the Cavalry and the Infantry did retire from the field of battle and prayed to their gods - Sabre, Lance and Carbine and made obeisance to their great god of victory HORSE, praying for deliverance. And it came to pass that their prayers were answered for from the west came a great host and with them came Firepower, Armour and Mobility, the prophets of the true god TANK. The great host of TANK did smite the evil Mud, Trenches and Barbed wire with fire and steel and did drive the Machine Gun from the land with great slaughter and lamentation. And the hosts of Cavalry and Infantry did rejoice and make merry, praising the name of TANK. But it came to pass that the people turned from the true god TANK, and did pray once again to their old gods - Sabre, Lance and Carbine. And the followers of the true god TANK were reviled and cast into the Desert where they wandered. But lo in the East there arose a great pestilence, and his name was Adolf, son of Schikelgruber, and he did come with his host of the Panzers and did bring fire and plague to the lands of many nations. And then the Cavalry and the Infantry did repent that they had abandoned the one true god TANK and did cry out in a great voice calling for the Host to return. And the great god TANK did return and did strive with Adolf son of Schikelgruber and there was great slaughter. And the great host of TANK did smite Adolf and drove him from the battlefield to the utter ruin of his host the Panzers. And the tribes of Cavalry and Infantry were delivered and became as one people with the host of TANK, and did do homage to the prophets Firepower, Armour and Mobility and did worship the great god TANK. The chosen people now number many but the greatest amongst them are the ones who spread the word and converted the unbelievers and they are called TREADHEADS.
