Very nice, Ivor. I shall peruse that. Ta.

Just been reading a French account of Soissons,as a matter of fact. There's always a slight 'home' bias in tank articles, although this line from Wilkipedia takes some beating: "waged from July 18-22 , 1918, between American and German troops".

On a more realistic note, French authors do point out that it's a battle that's hardly known outside France, and claim (with some justification) that it was the point at which the pendulum started to swing back towards the Allies, with Amiens the follow-up.

Well, this is something!

I found from there this very nice book:

It has some great photos and amazing drawings!

Yes, a direct link would be

http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/p4013coll7&CISOPTR=403&REC=3

If all 7 parts are downloaded and saved that will total 44.6 Mb which is almost a whole cent's worth of storage at today's terabyte diskdrive prices. Downloading from this source is slightly unusual - all 7 parts have the same filename so must be changed each time to avoid overwriting the previous on disk.
