Cambrai 1917

The Battle of Cambrai, fought from November 20 to December 7, 1917, was one of the first significant uses of tanks in combat during World War I. The British launched a bold offensive against German forces near Cambrai in northern France. Around 476 tanks were deployed by the British, which was the largest use of tanks in warfare at that time. The British achieved an initial success, breaking through the German defences and capturing a significant amount of territory. The tanks were instrumental in this success, providing fire support and protection for advancing infantry. However, the British forces were unable to maintain their breakthrough. German reinforcements counterattacked, and the British were pushed back, resulting in the loss of many of the gains they had made in the early stages of the battle. The battle resulted in heavy losses on both sides, with around 45,000 British and 40,000 German casualties. While the Battle of Cambrai did not end with a decisive victory for the British, it marked the first major step in the development of tank warfare. The lessons learned from Cambrai would influence future tank tactics in World War I and beyond.
