Renouncer is a Salisfordian tank of the Army of Reykanes, which was transported to Reykanes in 1948.
Background
During the late 1940s the fear of a communist uprising was looming. As apart of the "Modernization period" of the Army of Reykanes, one single tank was shipped next to the already existing tank forces to have a leading tank. The L43 tank was shipped to Reykanes on 6 October 1948 and the supplies that came with it.
