sep 15, 1916 - Britain Uses Tanks
Description:
For the first time, tanks are used in battle. The British were the first ones to use them, and at this time, they were still being developed. (15 September 1916)
"We drove on to see the 'caterpillars' of which we found about sixty-two, painted in grotesque colours. While we were there a German areoplane, flying at a great height, came overhead and the whole of the tanks took cover under trees or were covered with tarpaulins painted to resemble haystacks."
