Mechanised Forces
IN ANY battle, speed, accuracy and protection are extremely important. In days of yore, the Cavalry provided these and won the day with the artillery decimating the target prior to the assault. Gradually, engines came in and the speed of automobiles exceeded that of horses. During the First World War, both sides stagnated in their trenches till the British invented the tank in the First World War in September 1915. The first use of tanks on the battlefield was the use of British Mark 1 tanks at the Battle of Flers-Courcellete on September 15, 1916, with mixed results; many broke down, but nearly a third succeeded in breaking through. Of the fortynine tanks shipped to the battle field, only thirty-two were able to begin the first attack in which they were used and only nine made it across “no man’s land” to the German lines. The tanks had been rushed into combat before the design was mature enough and the number was small but their use gave important feedback on how to design newer tanks, the soundness of the concept, and their potential to affect the course of the war.
