Captain A.M. Inglis Bravely Advancing His Tank into the German Lines Despite a Blown Wheel, 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the indomitable spirit of war and the relentless determination of the British military during the First World War. In the foreground, we see Captain Archibald Montgomery Inglis (1885-1916) of the British Army's Heavy Branch, Royal Engineers, resolutely advancing his Mark I tank, nicknamed "Mother," towards the German lines. The date is September 15, 1916, during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, one of the major engagements of the Battle of the Somme. Despite the heavy artillery fire and the chaos of the battlefield, Captain Inglis presses on, undeterred by the fact that one of his tank's wheels has been blown off. The grit and tenacity displayed by Inglis and his crew were crucial to the success of the British tank offensive, which marked a turning point in the war. The use of tanks in combat was a groundbreaking innovation, and their deployment represented a significant shift in the balance of power on the Western Front.
