Steel, mud, blood and courage on the Western Front
This is a fine book because it is a superb first hand eye-witness
account of British Tanks in action throughout the First World War.
Without much preamble Watson launches the reader, in company with
the author's brother officers, men and machines into the heart of
the field of conflict on the 11th Corps forward line on the Western
Front in the Autumn and Winter of 1916. From that point to the end
of the book and the war itself the narrative takes us inexorably
into the dark heart of war the tankers knew. Battles and
battlefield experiences in their various phases (sometimes the book
includes descriptions as expansive as three chapters each) are
covered in engrossing detail. We join the author and the men we
come to know as personalities, at First and Second Bullecourt, in
much detail at Third Ypres and Cambrai before Amiens, the breaking
of the Hindenburg Line and Second Le Cateau. This is a primary
source work within a finite resource and as such is beyond value.
Nevertheless, it is also a highly absorbing read to be relished by
students of the period-professional and amateur alike. Available in
soft cover and hard back with dust jacket for collectors.
