This book examines the role of British tanks on the Western Front from 1916 through to the Armistice and the experiences of those who served in them. A linking narrative guides the reader through the war, battle by battle, using extracts from war diaries and personal testimonies drawn from the Tank Museum archives, supported by original photographs.
