  A few saw combat in the Dutch East Indies campaign against the Japanese invasion. 
  In mid-1942 a batch was diverted to Australia from the Dutch order where they were used for training
  After the attack on Pearl Harbor, some of these tanks were taken over by the United States Army and employed in Northern Alaska as the T14 and T16 respectively.
