For April, here is a historical image of a Churchill 'Crocodile' throwing its flame down range. 

 Let David Fletcher tell you more in his Tank Chat  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfTZEsMh0oM&  

The 'Crocodile' was a conversion optimised for the Mark VII. Only one British unit (141st Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps) was equipped with Crocodiles in time for the D-Day landings in June 1944. In September, 79th Armoured Division (the home for specialist armoured vehicles of all kinds) absorbed 31st Tank Brigade as 31st Armoured Brigade, which took back 141st RAC from 30th Armoured Brigade. In October, 31st Armoured Brigade absorbed 1st Fife and Forfar Yeomanry from 28th Armoured Brigade as its second flamethrower tank battalion. In February 1945, 31st Armoured absorbed 7th RTR too, which went on to see action with Crocodiles during the Korean War (1950-1953).
