1st Waorld War 1914-1918
There are only 7 vehicles (8 if you count the vehicle going over the trench) and two German artillery guns one of which is the “Graincourt Gun”, the limited number of vehicles gives you a good idea of just how big these WW1 tanks are.

An excellent tour Darren, well done. You really captured the atmosphere of the place. I'm a Bovy fan too and go two or three times a year if I can.

What variant is the Tiger I? These images have me thinking of several future builds.

It was cap;tured in tunisa in 1943 and so I believe would be classed as early.
