On 15 September 1916, the modern face of warfare changed forever as Britain deployed its Mark I tanks, nicknamed "Little Willies," during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, a crucial phase of the Battle of the Somme.
These early armoured vehicles lumbered across no man's land, breaking through enemy defenses in a way never seen before.
Although slow and prone to mechanical failure, their ability to traverse trenches and barbed wire marked a pivotal moment in military history, setting the stage for the evolution of armoured warfare in the years to come.
