American troops training with tanks, France, WW1
American troops of the 107th Infantry Regiment, 27th Division, training with tanks near Beauquesne, Somme, northern France, during the First World War. The tanks would charge an imaginary enemy trench first, using machine guns as they approached the parapet of the trench. The infantry would then advance, clean out the rest of the trench, and wait for the tanks to advance ahead of them to the next line of trenches. Date: 13 September 1918

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the First World War as American troops of the 107th Infantry Regiment, 27th Division, undergo intensive training with tanks near Beauquesne, Somme, northern France. The image, dated September 13, 1918, shows soldiers from the 1st Tank Company preparing for a simulated attack on an imaginary enemy trench line. The tanks, emblazoned with the American flag, lead the charge, using their machine guns to suppress enemy fire as they approach the parapet. The infantry, armed with rifles and machine guns, follow closely behind, poised to advance and clear the remaining enemy soldiers from the trench. Once the trench has been secured, the tanks move forward once more, leading the infantry to the next line of defenses. The use of tanks in warfare was a relatively new concept during the First World War, and the American Expeditionary Force was one of the first to fully integrate these powerful machines into their tactics. The combination of infantry and tank warfare proved to be a formidable force, and this training session in northern France was a crucial step in preparing the troops for the final push towards victory. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and training routines of American soldiers during the Great War. The determination and focus of the troops are palpable, as they prepare to face the challenges of the battlefield and make their mark on the course of history.
