English: A tank, with guns apparently firing, crossing a trench or shell-hole. The tank appears to be a Mark I type, nicknamed, 'Mother'. These were the first tanks used in action and were developed from a prototype demonstrated in 1915, called 'Little Willie'. They were fitted with a 6-pound (2.7 kilos) naval gun on each side. The tanks were first used, rather unsuccessfully, at Flers-Coucelette on 15 September 1916. However, Sir Douglas Haig (1861-1928) was sufficiently impressed with their potential to order more tanks to be supplied and as the war continued new tactics were developed which established the tank as the modern equivalent of cavalry. |
