  • "A photograph depicting the untoward incident which marked the assembly of the tanks to the offensive of 8 August 1918. One company of carrying tanks allotted to the 5th Division had occupied its lying-up position in the Orchard north of Villers-Bretenneux, and about 4 p.m. on 7 August, a chance enemy shot set fire to one of them. The resulting explosion of petrol and munitions aided by additional enemy fire caused a total wreckage of these tanks and supplies. Replacements, however, were effected before the battle opened."
