Major-General Ellis commander of the tank corps, in his introduction to the volume, calls attention to the “difficulties of dealing concisely, even by comment, with the kaleidoscopic events of two and a half crowded years—with the questions of organisation, training, personnel, design, supply, fighting, reorganisation, workshops, experiments, salvage, transportation, maintenance.” This states in a nutshell the enormous problem solved by the tank in its rapid and forced evolution while the war was in process. The first chapter is intended for the civilian who, thanks to the censorship, “has had no opportunity of making himself familiar with the tactical opportunities and problems that the use of tanks has introduced or with the conditions under which tank crews fight.” It contains several plans and diagrams showing the general arrangement and construction of this formidable machine. There are other illustrations and an index.
