No. He patented a type of crawler track for agricultural machinery, but so did many other people around the world in the 19th century and Hawker's wasn't particularly remarkable. Hawker's design wasn't intended for military use, wasn't armoured, and carried no armament. It was just one example of many similar machines that eventually led to the Tank during WWI.

∙ 12y agoHe didn't. He patented a type of chain-track agricultural vehicle in 1872, but so did a great many people in the 19th century. The claim seems to have come from an attempt to persuade people to visit the museum in his home town. His device bears little relation to a tank, and many similar inventions were actually superior.

What year was Joseph Hawker father of the tank born?
The date of Hawker's birth is irrelevant, since he was not "The Father of the Tank." Hawker designed a type of three-wheeled tractor with wooden plates on a belt that spread the load of the two rear wheels. His role in the development of the tank was not significant.

Who invent the military tank?
The first tank was invented by Joseph Hawker in 1827 for military useNo it wasn't. Hawker designed a type of caterpillar track, but so did dozens of people in many countries during the 19th Century and earlier. Hawker's wasn't anything out of the ordinary. And it was designed for agricultural use, as the Patent explains. It wasn't armoured and it didn't carry any armament. Using it for military purposes never crossed Hawker's mind.Recognisable tanks were designed in France, Austria, and Australia in the decade preceding WWI, but none was actually built. Once the War began, tanks were built quite independently in Great Britain and France, and one prototype in Russia. The question of who "invented" them is very difficult to answer. Some in Britain, France, and Russia made major contributions, but it was really a chain of causation. Don't believe that claptrap on Wikipedia.
