HM Armed Forces

Army Tank Driver, more commonly known as Tank Driver, is a fictional character featured in HM Armed Forces, a British comic strip created by Mike Ryder. The strip ran in *The Sun* newspaper.

Tank Driver is portrayed as a stereotypical, working-class soldier in the British Army, specifically serving as a driver within a tank crew. He is generally depicted as affable but somewhat dim-witted and naive, often finding himself at the receiving end of jokes and pranks.

His character arc primarily revolves around humorous situations arising from his daily life in the army. These range from operational blunders to struggles with military regulations and interactions with his comrades, particularly his superior officer, the Sergeant Major.

While not characterized by exceptional bravery or intelligence, Tank Driver embodies a relatable and comic representation of the average soldier, highlighting the often-absurd realities of military life through a satirical lens.
