EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a pivotal moment during the First World War in 1916, as British forces launch an attack on German positions on the Western Front. At the forefront of the assault is a Mark V Male tank, leading the charge with determination and force. The tank's thick armor and powerful guns were a formidable addition to the British arsenal, providing much-needed support for the infantry as they advanced. The image, dated 07 December 1916, shows the tank making its way towards the German position on the left of the frame, with British infantry following closely behind. The extreme right of the image reveals the brave soldiers, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat once the tank had breached the enemy lines. The importance of this attack cannot be overstated, as the use of tanks in warfare marked a significant turning point in the conflict. The historical significance of this moment is evident in the illustration, with the tank's dominance over the battlefield and the infantry's reliance on its power to push forward. The attack on German positions was a crucial part of the Battle of the Somme, one of the largest and deadliest battles in the history of warfare. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides during the First World War, and the role that technological advancements played in shaping the course of the conflict.
