Fray Bentos, The Tank that Inspired Fury

- Fray Bentos a new high tech weapon at the time was a Mark IV tank that got stuck on the enemy lines. The crew battled for several days bravely defending from the German onslaught while under fire from the British who were trying to stop the tank falling into German hands.
Captain Donald Richardson, despite being injured, bravely led his crew to safety and they became the most highly decorated tank crew at the time. In recent years Fray Bentos' last stand became the inspiration for the story Fury.

Naming a tank after a brand of canned meat?
British Humor Level: Expert.
British Tommies had, and have a black sense of humour all their own. To be fair, the same is true of all soldiers, regardless of uniforms.
Fray Bentos its a town in the mídele West of Uruguay in South America where was settled the British -uruguayian canned meat factory that delive
Delivered meat meals to allied forces in both world wars
Frey Bentos ? -Corned Beef
My Dad also liked their Steak and Steak & Kidney Puddngs ! They also did a Steak pie in flaky pastry - sold in 10" plate size tin about 1" deep ! - Remove top with tin opener and place in oven !
And funnily enough - My lovely daughter Leah -Brought me some supplies from Aldi on30th Sunday & Brought me 3 FREY BENTOS New Vegetable Balti pies ! -In flaky pastry - Still sold in 10" plate size tins - Open top with tin opener Place in pre heated oven ?

I LOVE IT
It always saddens me that Hollywood feels the need to pump out completely fictional war movies when there are so many true stories worthy of the big screen treatment.😕 great channel btw
Some stories even get toned down for the silver screen, because reality can be less plausible than fiction. Audie Murphy's autobiographical movie toned down his actions, out of fear that the audiences wouldn't believe the true extent of his war.
@@TheAttacker732 Yeah, my Mom sort of knew him in grade school. He was one of those mean little hardscrabble types that you get out of West Texas, making do to survive even if he had to eat fried lizards. Hollywood at the time was still pushing that 'our boys' narrative, like they were all warm and friendly boy scouts from a rich family, but if the army had paid Audie by the German he'd have murdered his way to serious wealth.
so true and its the worst thing ever
I like both. Sometimes I want to watch a tank take on five other tanks, other times I want to watch transforming robots fight in a war.
even sadder that they have to claim it as being american
I love the realistic detail of the german soldier slipping at the 1:29

The finishing poppy scene was great, surrounding the tank with poppies, the only thing which grew on the battlefield. Job well done Yarnhub 👍
Thanks Sam.
@@Yarnhub this is probably my favourite video of yours, seriously keep going. It's so sad you don't get the recognition you deserve, it's such great animation and storytelling.
Get this man a million subs. Now
I came to the comments to make the same statement. Loved the story and the ending was perfect.
I cried by it okay?
They say poppies grow where soldiers spill blood
So "Fury" being an American tank should really have been called Spam?
I thought spam was British?

@@znentitan4032 sorry, didn't know. Only heard in English context before, but never too old to learn. Thanks for the update.
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 No worries. I had to look it up myself just to make sure.
@LTrain45 45 agreed
Amazing video!! Thank you!
hey look its matt
Seeing how this is from a month ago I’m betting you watched this on 11/11. Nice.
I wanted to give you a personal thanks too. It’s not a half assed “thank you for your service” though, because you didn’t do it to get a thanks from us. Regardless, thank you for taking the fight to the baddies, making sure that at least a few terrorists weren’t gonna make it over here and by doing that you gave me a share of my freedom. I’m free to be an absolute useless piece of shit that does nothing until I get a job again, and I don’t have to worry about someone bombing or shooting my neighborhood up. A lot of teens and adults don’t have to worry about that because you were fixing Warriors, and those Warriors could bring the fight to them instead. I’ll join up with the CAF after I’m done with my service here in the IDF and later in the Marines.
I really can’t thank you enough. I don’t believe all soldiers are heroes because we both know a lot of society’s scum end up there, but I won’t let it stop me from thanking you for doing your part to keep us free from such threats.
Fffgggggg

Or else you would be a victim of booby traps
The animations are so clean though, and i like how he changed the subject a bit, instead of making WW2 content he made WW1 content, incredible job.
Dude, you do realize he basically told you the BF1 british campaign "through mud and blood" ?? Literally the only thing that has changed is the name of the Tank -- from "Black Bess" to Fray Bentos.
Also google "Fray Bentos Tank" -- the only thing that pops up is the food company. Nothing about any famous WW1 tank battle where it was a last stand.
ok
@@MrSniperdude01 that's a lie. Plenty of stuff pops up about "Fray Bentos tank"
@@MrSniperdude01 The bf1 campaign was inspired by this....moron
@@MrSniperdude01 plenty shows up
My Great Grandfather was one of the men in Fray Bentos - William Morrey.
I only stumbled upon the story myself after digging through some old family photos a few years ago. Apparently, William was a very quiet man and never spoke of the story himself - so no one, not even family, knew what he had been through.
Still, it's amazing to think what he did, it was an immense ordeal.
Thats amazing. Have you got in touch with the Tank Museum in Bovington? I'm sure they'd love to hear more.
@@Yarnhub I hadn't thought of doing that, but it's a great idea.
Fantastic video by the way, it's very well done.
Your great grandpa won a medal for surviving those 3 days, you must be proud

@@Yarnhub thanks for the heart your my favorite history channel
Nah he didn't slip, he only sat down QUICK.
I noticed it
I thought its an astetic
The animation is clean
Should've been dirty. There was mud all over no man's land!
Purest of them all
He did scan
The storytelling and the way it is presented as well as the topics in these videos are so well told and animated that even if the animation style is """simple""" it still has managed to bring a tear to my eye more than once. Well done Yarnhub, stay amazing.
It's impossible to stumble upon this channel and not binge watch.
Regarding to the name of the tank:
Fray Bentos was the name of a meat company which was located in the town of Fray Bentos, Uruguay (it's a small country in South America) and which it exported meat to England.
Interesting thing is, no one knows the origin of the name. The town was originally called "Villa Independencia" and was renamed to "Fray Bentos" in 1900, but there is no record as to why that name was chosen.
Historians are able to find the name "Fray Bentos" in military records from Spanish sailors in the 17th and 18th century where they describe the same location using the term but then again, no record was found as to why.
So... Yeah... Both the tank and the name are legends... And on a side note, there was another tank named "Fray Bentos II" in honor to this one, which also fought bravely but was captured in the battle of Cambrai in November 1917 and was paraded through the streets of Berlin on that year's Christmas Eve as a show for Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Que bien que alguien lo dijo jajaja, me leí todos los comentarios a ver si alguien sabía, estas en la Fuerza Aérea?
Gracias por darles esta explicación a los gringos, compatriota!
Fray Bentos city best years were during both world wars thanks to the production of army canned food.
also the factory is now UNESCO world heritage
It might have to do with the fact Fray is sometimes the prefix for a Catholic clergyman. Maybe there was a guy called Fray Bentos who did something amazing enough to be recognized by the place

You guys are seriously the most underrated history channel out there. I always love to learn and your animation style is just fantastic!
I'll never get over the quality of your work. A small group of people who can outclass half-million dollar productions.
It's just everything that you do, is pretty much perfect.
I notice the kettle at 5:39 says Rosie lee which is a slang for tea. Good work once again, YarnHub

hello
Hello.
The famous can of Fray Bentos is from Uruguay, the city that produced it is historical here in Uruguay, im so proud
You and simple history are probably some of my favorite history based content creators and I can't wait to see what other awesome crazy stories you guys bring
And the animation is just stellar and all the minor details make it so much better
Damn Tank needs a movie
It has a movie, it’s called “Tread”
It has a video game mission about it too! In Battlefield 1...
chiller in BF1 we weren’t playing as Fray bentos
Leonardus Raka Pradayan i know.
Leonardus Raka Pradayan the mission was just like it though.
Been waiting for you to do some *WW1* stuff! Hopefully we get to see more with your incredible work my guy.
The passion you show for your aninimation. The attention to detail and "the little things" is what set your channel apart from others. Covering the lesser known but needed to be known sides of history is what you do best and is something you should never stop doing. Never stop.
Everytime I see the end of the video Flanders fields plays in my head.... god bless those brave men who served king and country.
another underrated yamhub video keep up the work

Eh, still about tanks lol.
WW1 has such amazing stories. I loved the event that happened back then. One of my favourite events is the ‘Christmas truce’ where both sides traded their gifts, sang Christmas songs, and played football. It was really touching to me
Yeah and if the politicians of the time hadn't been such morons and had drawn the right conclusion from the christmas truce, the Nazis would not have happened...
This Animation and narration never fails to make a heart pounding moment into a amazing historical piece to listen too

Your videos are like nothing that I've ever watched, they are so entertaining, and yet at the end i can proudly say that i learned something i didnt know before. This channel deserves lots of praise and love. Keep up the great work.
This was a super inspiring story that i wore ear buds and it sounds like a.. Movie.
I've been watching your content since the BF-109 spared the B-17 video and I'm glad to have stuck around for a full year. All of your videos are amazingly high-quality and the animation has heavily improved since the transition from 2D to 3D. I hope this channel eventually grows to the size it deserves.
amazing
Edit: True immortality is through actions that
can be felt after generations. Thank you yarnhub for sharing them
This channel has came so far. Can’t believe it’s been over a WHOLE YEAR since your first video. I’m truly lucky I stumbled upon this channel. It’s been really fun watching it grow and can’t wait to see it grow even more! Don’t stop what you’re doing.
5:48 was a beautiful scene
Most excellent. A true story of true heroes.
1:28 You didn't *HAVE* to animate a German slipping in the mud of No Man's Land, but you did and that is a testament to your quality videos.
Who hear watched Fury and then loved it, I know I did! And like again amazing animation!!!!
Now this was superb animation. This channel doesn’t disappoint and shows you how history doesn’t have to be boring to appreciate it. Thank you 😊
I wanted to recommend the story of Hiroo Onoda. He was a Japanese holdout in the Philippines after Japan surrendered. He fought for 30 YEARS after the surrender of Imperial Japan on the island of Lubang. He wrote a book about his experiences called "No Surrender, My 30 year war." and I recommend reading it. It is fascinating how he persevered through an American landing on his island, living in the jungles, and using guerilla warfare against the enemy. Not to mention the others who survived with him. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves and I hope you make a video about him.
Coming soon !
@@Yarnhub Thank you so much! His story needs to be told!
The small detail of the German slipping in the mud at around the 1:30 mark is actually pretty cool
man, your research storytelling and animation are just topnotch!
The animations in these videos have come so far, awesome job Yarnhub!
damn, the animation just keeps getting better and better. These vids are so awesome, you put so much effort into them and it really shows.

I am amazed by how good these animations are after getting.
Thank you guys. This helped me a lot with a school project I had to do. So thank you guys very much :)
That scene with the tank in the field surrounded by flowers and a cat makes it look like it will stay there forever guarding the field.
I’m still surprised you still don’t have a 1 million subscribers, your videos quality is better then some channels with 1 million subscribers
Speechless. So astonishing and well executed. Nice job yarn hub boiis
Just amazing overall. Thank you!
3:43 *Insert the Battlefield 1 theme song here*
The fact that your underrated still bothers me 'till this day.
The Bovington Tank Museum is more than worth a visit - a truly fascinating place. I took my 17 year old grandson there, and he was awed by what he learned. Incidentally, Captain Richardson wasn't the only tank commander to lead his men from outside the vehicle. In the mists and smoke of a dark early morning start it was often the only sure way of following the route marker tapes to the starting off point.
The small details, love them. Your the best of the best you have so much more than other history channels to offer!

Bruh this was mainly about the story of the actual battle, and not one of hollywood's f*ck ups. There are so many people talking about some of Fury's scenes like the Tiger vs the E8. Its long and hard. The title said it inspired Fury, but didint show the rest of it

As always an AWESOME video! Best animations+coolest stories =Yarnhub- the perfect CZcams channel! You guys are great!!! 😄
This is so incredible! Thank you so much for this video. I love learning about WW1, and would definitely appreciate more unique stories like this. What I love especially is that I haven't heard most of the stories on this channel. Incredible content.
at first i thought he said at 0:12 the mach four tanks.
These videos won't teach you history as they are of little importance of the international scene and of the war itself. But even then, they are some of the best "small facts" historical videos that I've seen on this platform. Good job, cant wait to see what you guys come up in the future.
