EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Plateau Station during the Battle of Cambrai in November 1917, as tank trains await their despatch to detraining railheads on the Western Front in France. The First World War marked a significant turning point in military history, with the introduction of new technologies such as tanks revolutionizing the nature of warfare. In this image, we see the impressive line of armored trains, each one carrying multiple tanks, ready to be unleashed onto the battlefield. The Battle of Cambrai, which took place from November 20 to December 7, 1917, was a major offensive launched by the British Expeditionary Force against the German Army. The operation was notable for its innovative use of tanks, which were employed in large numbers for the first time in a coordinated attack. The tanks were transported to the front lines using railways, allowing for a rapid and efficient deployment of this new and powerful weapon. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the logistical challenges of supplying and transporting troops and equipment during the First World War. The tanks, which were still a relatively new and untested technology, required careful handling and transportation to ensure their effectiveness on the battlefield. The railway system played a crucial role in this process, enabling the rapid movement of large numbers of tanks and other supplies to the front lines. This historical image is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the military forces involved in the Battle of Cambrai, as they sought to gain the upper hand in the brutal and destructive conflict that was raging across Europe. The tanks, trains, and railway system all played their part in this important battle, and this photograph offers a powerful reminder of the pivotal role they played in the history of the First World War.
