Fan tan

Fan tan: The name officially given in the War to a tank provided for the British Army by a wealthy Chinese resident and public man in the Malay States, Mr. En Tong Sen, at a cost of £6,000. It was built at Lincoln by Messrs. Foster and then taken to France, where it served throughout the War. The donor, being Chinese, "Fan tan" had an eye painted on each side forward in accordance with the Chinese junk practice:– "No eye, no can see. No can see, no can go," as the Chinese sampan man explained.

Fan-Tan is the universal gambling game among the Chinese, played with a croupier and numbered counters.
