The author of this classic account of early tank warfare, Major W. H. L. Watson, was already an experienced veteran whose early Great War exploits in the Cycle Corps. Early in 1917, as this book records, damp, disillusioned and feeling that the tank might inject a touch of romance into the war, he volunteered and was accepted into the Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps - which later became the Tank Corps. After a brief period of training Watson's X! company was flung into action in April 1917 in the 'blood-tub' battle of Bullecourt. But the core of the book is the author's description of the battle of Cambrai in November 1917, when tanks were used en masse for the first time.
