An otherwise unknown French village on World War I's Western Front earned a permanent place in military history in 1916 when it became the site of the world's first tank battle. A handful of the newly developed armored vehicles were committed to a Canadian offensive in the area. The Germans were taken by surprise by the armored monsters, but most of the tanks were soon immobilized by their faulty engines, and the tank as a decisive weapon still lay in the future. This detailed and heavily illustrated then-and-now guide to the battle covers the little-known Canadian participation in the action and the present-day Tank Corps Memorial, a place of pilgrimage for tankers of all nations.
