Introducing Tanks to Londoners: A Historical Moment at the Scala Theatre in 1915 This photograph captures a significant moment in history as Londoners gathered at the Scala Theatre to witness the official film showing of "The Battle of the Ancre and the Advance of the Tanks." The film, produced during the First World War in 1915, documented the British military's innovative use of tanks in the Battle of the Ancre, marking a turning point in the war. The audience, estimated to be 250,000 strong on the first day alone, included notable figures such as Mrs Lloyd George and Miss Bonar Law. The popularity of the film was unprecedented, with 112 picture houses screening it on the same day. The event marked the first time that the general public had been given an opportunity to view the realities of war on the big screen. The introduction of tanks to the battlefield represented a significant advancement in military machinery and transport. These armored vehicles provided a new means of transporting troops and supplies to the front lines, offering protection against enemy fire. The film's showing at the Scala Theatre served to introduce this revolutionary technology to the British public, boosting morale and providing a sense of connection to the ongoing war efforts. This photograph is a testament to the power of film in shaping public opinion and awareness during times of conflict.
