EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the final stages of World War I, as American troops of B Company, 107th Regiment Infantry, 27th Division, undergo intensive tank training with their British counterparts near Beauquesne, Somme, northern France, on September 13, 1918. The American soldiers, dressed in their distinctive helmets and mud-splattered uniforms, are seen lying in the muddy trenches, observing the British tank crew in action. The tank, a formidable weapon of war, is mounted with Lewis machine guns and is manned by a team of four gunners, three drivers, and one officer. The 27th Division, also known as the 'New York Division,' was the first American division to see combat in Europe during the Great War. Their arrival marked a turning point in the conflict, providing much-needed reinforcements and fresh energy to the Allied forces. However, the soldiers were largely inexperienced in modern warfare and required extensive training to effectively utilize the new technology. The British, who had been using tanks in battle since 1916, were more than willing to share their expertise. In this photograph, we witness the interchange of knowledge and skills between the two nations, as the American soldiers learn the intricacies of tank warfare from their British counterparts. The scene is a testament to the camaraderie and unity that developed between the Allied forces during the war, as they worked together to bring an end to the devastating conflict.
