The Royal Tank Regiment, the oldest tank unit in the world, will commemorate 100 years since the Battle of Cambrai

Curator of the Tank Museum, Bovington, David Willey said: “The Battle of Cambrai was not only the first successful use of tanks in a mass attack. It proved their worth and saved the fledgling Tank Corps which until Cambrai – had not had a chance to really show their capabilities. The Tank Regiment rightly commemorates and celebrate the achievement of their predecessors.”
