EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the first completed British tank, the Killen-Strait Armoured Tractor, during the pivotal year of 1915 in the context of the First World War. The image showcases the innovative design of this groundbreaking military vehicle, which was claimed to be the world's first armoured tractor used in warfare. The tank, named after its designer, Lieutenant-Colonel Ernest Swinton, and Major Walter Wilson, was developed to revolutionize the battlefield and provide troops with much-needed mobility and protection against enemy fire. The Killen-Strait Armoured Tractor was unique in its design, featuring an armoured body, caterpillar tracks, and a powerful engine. It was initially intended to be used as a transport vehicle for carrying supplies and ammunition to the front lines, but its armoured shell and heavy armament soon made it a formidable weapon in its own right. The tank's design was a significant departure from traditional military tactics of the time, which relied heavily on infantry and artillery. The tank's ability to traverse difficult terrain, such as muddy fields and barbed wire, gave troops a newfound advantage on the battlefield. The first use of the Killen-Strait Armoured Tractor in combat took place on September 15, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the British military during the First World War. The Killen-Strait Armoured Tractor marked the beginning of a new era in military technology and paved the way for the development of more advanced tanks that would play a crucial role in the outcome of the war.
