Rise Of The Tank Armoured Vehicles And Their Use In The First World War Michael Foley by Michael Foley 9781783463930, 1783463937 instant download after payment.

The tank made its first appearance during the First World War and, after a poor start, became one of the most fearsome weapons of the conflict. Perhaps the most surprising thing about its origin was the lack of interest shown in the weapon by the army while ideas for its construction were being discussed in government. There were a number of plans for armored vehicles leading up to the outbreak of war. The War Office had little interest in these and tended to dismiss them out of hand, as they did many other innovations, perhaps because those in command of the army were averse to new ideas of any kind. Even the use of machine-guns was seen by some senior officers as being not quite fair despite their widespread use by the enemy.

The idea of an armored vehicle was far from new by the outbreak of the war in August 1914. Early armored vehicles, including armored trains, were used in the Boer War. Armored cars were in use from the early years of the century by a number of countries. The problem was that trains were confined to tracks and armored cars to roads. Neither of these were suitable for the Western Front. Tanks were supposedly not confined to anything but this was far from true as was seen on the battlefields of Ypres.
